vehicle of RHTLaw Asia LLP and the RHT Group of Companies (collectively, “ONERHT”), successfully
concluded the 7th edition of its Greening ASEAN: Initiatives & Leadership (GAIL) forum at the Suntec
Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Guest-of-Honour Mr Chee Hong Tat, Minister for Transport and Second Minister for Finance, delivered the
opening remarks, emphasising the need to develop innovative solutions and new technologies to ensure
that the green transition costs remain affordable.
This year’s event brought together over 120 attendees, including business and industry leaders and
sustainability domain experts, providing a platform for sharing expertise, experience and practical strategies.
Kaylee Kwok, Chairman of ONERHT Foundation, said, “At GAIL 2024, we witnessed the power of
collaboration and innovation in driving sustainable development across ASEAN. ONERHT Foundation is
proud to facilitate these important discussions and support initiatives empowering businesses and
communities to embrace sustainable practices for a greener future.”
Expert panellists discussed key sessions that equipped SMEs with strategies to embed sustainability into
operations while adapting to new reporting standards like International Sustainability Standards Board
(ISSB), explored effective business strategies for navigating the carbon economy with tips on carbon
measurement and management, and showcased how Singapore is leveraging AI and data capabilities to
pioneer transformative sustainability solutions across industries, from emissions tracking to resource
optimisation.
Abe Jacob, Director of RHT Green, said, “This year’s GAIL forum has highlighted the critical need for
businesses to integrate sustainability at every level. The discussions on future-proofing SMEs, navigating
the carbon economy, and harnessing AI for sustainability were particularly inspiring. Our collective efforts
can lead to meaningful change, and I am more optimistic than ever about our ability to build a sustainable
future together.”
The GAIL forum, initiated by ONERHT Foundation in 2018, aims to gather relevant expertise, knowledge
and practical measures to enable businesses and other stakeholders in ASEAN to respond to the region’s
growing call for sustainable development.

over 35 charitable organisations since its inception in 2015. ONERHT, a multidisciplinary network of
