If you’re a senior ESG (environmental, social, and governance) specialist, consider yourself in demand in Singapore, even if you’re currently based abroad. Banks in the Republic are setting up sustainable finance teams, buoyed by increasingly assertive government backing for the sector.
ING is the latest firm to make a senior ESG appointment in Singapore. It’s named Martijn Hoogerwerf, who’s been at the bank since 2019, as head of sustainable finance Asia Pacific, following a year-on-year doubling in APAC sustainability deals in 2021.
