The Business Case - Re Sustainability Cleantech

As consumer demand for environmentally sustainable practices continues to rise, going green has become a business imperative. This shift presents new opportunities for businesses and creates new job roles to fill.

One example of such a forward looking company is Re Sustainability Cleantech Pte Ltd, an environmental management solution provider that has embraced a green business model. Its focus on sustainable practices has resulted in the creation of a new job role: the Quality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE) & Sustainability Manager. Mr Tan Beng Huat, a mid-career switcher, was subsequently employed and reskilled through the Career Conversion Programme (CCP) for Sustainability Professionals, to support him in his new position. ?

Mr Tan previously held Environmental Health and Safety roles within the materials engineering and logistics industries, and concepts such as carbon management and sustainability reporting were unfamiliar to him. Nonetheless, through attending sustainability courses and on-the-job training, he acquired the necessary knowledge and skills, such as reporting using Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. Now, Mr Tan plays a pivotal role in advising Senior Management on green policies and ensuring compliance with sustainable practices.

The mid-career switch has provided new career development opportunities for Mr Tan as he looks forward to acquiring and deepening new capabilities in sustainability practices and continuously harnessing the new skillsets in his job. He reflects on his new role, sharing, “Sustainability is everyone’s business. Playing a pivotal role in shaping the company’s sustainability strategies brings me great satisfaction and motivation, both personally and professionally.”

Mr Ang Kin Yong, CEO of Re Sustainability Cleantech, elaborated from his perspective, “We are building a pool of sustainability ambassadors by investing in our employees’ career health and supporting their career development. We seek to grow alongside our people to bring everyone to new heights and stay competitive in this evolving market.”
