What is Stewardship, and Why Does it Matter?

30 Oct 2023

The business challenge of the 21st century is to create sustainable value by integrating the needs of stakeholders, society, future generations and the environment.

Stewardship Asia Centre (SAC), part of the Temasek Trust ecosystem, believes that by activating the Stewardship Leadership Compass, companies can do well by doing good.

So what is stewardship? Stewardship is "creating value in such a way that companies take their full responsibility towards society and commit to being a steward of the resources of our planet, thus preserving them for further generations," Professor Arnoud De Meyer, SAC’s Chairman and Professor Emeritus of Singapore Management University, explains.

Ms. Chan Wai Ching, SAC’s board director and Temasek’s Chief Corporate Officer, stresses that stewardship is everyone's responsibility. "Only when everyone adopts an ownership mentality can we see transformative change."

Tune in to find out more about the Stewardship Leadership Compass and how Steward Leadership can help your company, as SAC’s CEO Mr. Rajeev Peshawaria, and Mr. Veena Nair, SAC research editor, discuss further.


SAC is a non-profit organisation established by Temasek, dedicated to helping business and government leaders, investors, and individuals activate stewardship practices through research, executive education and engagement.
