• Collaborate with Finance and Corporate Affairs on sustainability-linked financing;
• Provide guidance and training to strengthen internal sustainability awareness and practices;
• Travel regularly between Malaysia and Singapore to oversee reporting processes and engage with plant-level teams, local authorities and partners.
