Sustainable Executive Leadership

Sustainable Executive Leadership
Become an EGN Member

Cultivate a network that is built on mutual professional aspirations and personal ventures with other senior executives.

This confidential group provides a supportive forum to uncover and discuss key issues around sustainability, path to net zero, risk management and profit opportunities that confront senior executives and SMEs in the fast-moving space.

Senior Executives and entrepreneurs may find that the issues they really need help with, and the type of discussions they want are at a different level and scale from that which their regular employed counterparts face.
This group allows members to finally attain the information they have been missing by delving into key issues and developing shared solutions established through practical experience from an executive and ownership perspective.

The group also regularly share their experience in areas ranging from strategy development to effective execution with a view of identifying “best practice” and creating “next practice” that is applicable here in Singapore and Asia.

The current key topics that are being explored during our meetings, and we regularly seek our members’ input to flex and change these as situations change:
    • OFFSETS: Credits, markets and carbon trading
    • TECH and TRACE: visibility, data and tools
    • VALUE: Generating ($) from sustainability
    • CIRCULARITY: Regeneration, lifting the bar
    • SHIFT: from business as usual (BAU) to sustainability as strategy (SAS)
    • SUPPLY CHAIN: with SMEs and getting to under 1.5C
    • SCOPE 4: Value Creation
    • CULTURE: Values, leadership, memes – how to lead the shift from BAU to sustainability culture?

    • PRESSURE: What are the key points actions in 2023? Are there collaborations possible?

    • PROGRESS: Transformation: Ambition to Action
    • ALIGN: Opportunities with CEO concerns and revenue
    • VALUE: Value Chain / Supply / Scope 3 / Scope 4

      From strategy development to effective execution, this is a peer group that will exchange ideas to identify the best practices for tomorrow.

      Members of this group are from medium to large Singapore-based companies and include Vice President Sustainability Finance of Olam International, Brand Director Procter & Gamble, Managing Director South East Asia at Maersk Singapore, Managing Director Malaysia and Singapore Unilever Singapore, Director of Internal Audit Nokia, Head Building Performance and Sustainbility ASEAN of Siemens, and many more.

      More about Joanne FLINN.

      Joanne FLINN is about strategic sustainability so that executives can get the right things done at the right time. Formerly country head of the Financial Services Consulting Practice for PwC and a member of the IT ExCo at DBS, she recently lead a strategy project the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, a $1.5billion fund. She is an advisor on international governance and ESG at CPA Australia.

      When asked what got her started in the sustainability space, Joanne shared ‘I grew up with the Green Revolution around me as my father was a scientist in this field. I believe that today, it’s we in business can make profit, purpose and planet work. And as an individual, I’ve burnt out more than once, so I also see this peer group as a place where sustainability is as much about you as a leader as it is your business.’

        As a member of EGN, you get direct access to Top Executives, Business Leaders and Specialists in most parts of the world via our online Members’ Universe where you can ask questions, join debates and network with more than 15,000 other members.

        Your personal EGN group represents a confidential forum where all ideas and challenges can be discussed with peers at your own, professional level. To ensure confidentiality, no competitors or significant customer relationships are allowed in the same group.

        All our peer groups are managed by a professional and experienced EGN Chair, who facilitates and mentors the peer groups, ensures output both at and between meetings and focuses on your professional and managerial development.

        We also offer events and seminars, networking tours, an Between Jobs Scheme, mentoring programmes, CEO coaching and much more.

        How do I become a member?

        You can apply for membership by filling out this form


        When we have received your application, you will be contacted by a Network Advisor for a more in-depth interview to find the right peer group for your managerial level and/or professional need.

        All candidates must be approved by both the Chair and specific peer group members before joining a group. This is done both to match relevant peers and also to avoid private friends, customer relationships and competitors being placed together in the same network group and to help facilitate honest and fruitful discussions.
