We are proud that within the short space of a month, our efforts to develop the impact investment ecosystem in Southeast Asia have not only been recognised regionally, but now at a global level too. The Sustainable Company Awards recognise companies worldwide that are taking crucial steps to transform their strategies and business models to create a sustainable future. As awardee of the “Global SME of the Year” category, Bintang had to demonstrate measures being taken, detail the positive impact, and showcase reasons we should be considered a best-in-class model for sustainable companies. Emerging as a winner in this category is a significant achievement for us, considering candidates were thoroughly screened by a panel of judges consisting of over 40 influential investors, pension funds, insurers, and industry experts from around the world. The judging process involved verifying evidence of Bintang’s transformative journey, robust implementation strategies, and the tangible impact and results produced by our efforts. As such, Bintang takes great pride in this recognition by global peers. None of this would have been possible without help. Your help.
