Here’s a look at the highlights of our team’s efforts and achievements this year
Our collegues, Nicole Tan and Tom Zachariassen successfully completed the 20km route at the Singapore Maritime Foundation (SMF) City Cycle 2024.
Nearly 150 participants embarked on the event last Saturday (13 April) traversing the eastern coastline of the city. The route commenced and concluded at PAssion Wave@Marina Bay, offering cyclists a scenic journey through Singapore’s stunning landscapes.
As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we took part in Biodiversity Week by visiting the Fungi Agriculture Centre of Innovation in Singapore.
Guided by experts from the Mushroom World Academy (MWA), our team had the opportunity to delve into the captivating process of mushroom cultivation. The experience was both educational and enjoyable, culminating in a delightful mushroom tasting session that highlighted the versatility and importance of fungi in sustainable agriculture.
Our Deputy Managing Partner, Joshua Politis, was highlighted in an article by Pimfha C. on DealStreetAsia. He shared valuable insights on the limited scope for exit opportunities within the maritime start-up ecosystem.
This recognition showcased our expertise and thought leadership in the industry, contributing to meaningful discussions on critical market challenges.
We are proud to have been highlighted by Human Resources Online, where our HR Director, Lynette Lim (IHRP-SP), shared insights into how we integrated employee well-being into our broader HR strategies and business objectives.
This recognition underscored our commitment to prioritizing mental and physical health as key drivers of workforce engagement and productivity. We extend our gratitude to Human Resources Online for showcasing our journey and recognizing our efforts in this critical area.
