The ASEAN CSR Network (ACN) participated at the Singapore Institute of Directors (SID) Conference 2017, "The Sustainability Imperative" last September 12, 2017 at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre.

 According to the SID write-up, the "conference has grown to be a much look-forward-to event for directors and corporate leaders to experience, learn and network on the latest megatrends and thinking to help their companies create value."

ACN's CEO, Mr. Thomas Thomas, was a panelist of one of the breakout sessions, which focused on the theme "Governance: How Is It Connected to Sustainability?" Mr. Thomas talked about the good governance as a tool to push for sustainable development, while emphasizing the importance of integrity-related disclosures of businesses.
