Singapore World Business Council for Sustainable Development Full time

The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) is the premier global, CEO-led community of over 200 of the world’s leading sustainable businesses working collectively to accelerate the system transformations needed for a net zero, nature-positive and more equitable future.

We share a vision of a world in which more than 9 billion people are able to live well, within planetary boundaries, by 2050. To achieve this vision, we must collectively accelerate the required transformation of businesses, their value chains, and the systems in which they operate to limit the impact of the climate crisis, restore nature and tackle inequality.

In our distinct **pathways**, we outline the critical transitions required in some of the significant areas of business activity to profoundly shift the systems we work in and **transform** them towards a better future. Together we **succeed**when our collective effort is rewarded through a lower cost of capital, which is the scope of our **redefining value** work; helping companies measure and manage risk, gain competitive advantage and seize new opportunities by understanding environmental, social and governance (ESG) information.

**WBCSD’s contribution**

WBCSD stimulates **progress**by ideating & level-setting new best practices and trends from different expertise & sectors. By improving **performance,**we enable standards and protocols supported by tools and technology to solidify businesses’ sustainability competence. We build **partnerships** by bringing together members and external partners to create coalitions and partnerships and build scale into change. Finally, we drive the **policy**agenda by amplifying the voice of positive business and shaping policies collaboratively to transform the systems we work in.

Our work aims to empower business leaders to raise their ambition to achieve a better world, deliver action at speed and scale in their operations and value chains, and sharpen the accountability of their performance.

The job is to ensure the needs of ambitious companies in APAC are understood and WBCSD’s value proposition is tuned accordingly. The result will be that WBCSD’s member base in APAC is sustained and growing and more companies are working together to achieve long-term success in accelerating the system transformations needed for a net zero, nature positive, and equitable future.
