ICDM Survey Reveals Imperative for Boa..（JCN プレスリリース）

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 23, 2024 - ( JCN Newswire ) - The Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (?ICDM?) recently concluded a comprehensive survey across Southeast Asia in collaboration with its eight (8) partners under the ASEAN IOD Network that highlights the imperative for boards to sharpen their foresight to assess and steer their organisation?s business model, governance, talent, dynamics, and culture as they position their boards for the future.The survey of 335 respondents comprising boards and C-Suites management from across the region reiterates the urgency for boards to evaluate their effectiveness and shift their current strategic board priorities to ensure they address the key threats that they expect to be more prominent over the next two (2) years. The four (4) key threats include:(i) Having the right talent and leadership;(ii) Diplomacy in managing macro and geopolitical uncertainties;(iii) Sustainable and effective operational strategy;(iv) Board-management relationship and dynamics.Michele Kythe Lim, President and Chief Executive Officer (?CEO?) of ICDM emphasised, ?Amidst the ongoing economic challenges, we remain steadfast in our commitment to navigating leadership in the dynamic landscape of Southeast Asia. Governance is coming into focus on a more profound level in the wake of heightened stakeholders? expectations, as evidenced by the many changes taking place on boards around us recently. As leaders, we recognise the pivotal role of talent, the power of effective leadership and the imperative of sustainability in our current environment and that a paradigm shift at the board level is necessary to confront the reality and barriers in their pursuit for growth. This regional survey is part of our hope to collectively transform leadership and drive businesses to greater heights by encouraging them to launch into action and openly address the critical areas in board and corporate governance that will nurture deeper cohesion in organisations.?Urging boards to cultivate a forward-looking mindset and ingrain a more robust culture to turn risks into growth opportunity, ICDM?s 2024 ASEAN Board Trends Survey identified five (5) critical areas in board governance that require immediate intervention to reinforce board effectiveness and ensure companies are equipped for the challenges of the future. These include:(i) To Realign Board Agenda and Set Priorities Right: Boards often cling to outdated approaches, looking at things through yesterday?s lens and failing to adapt to changing circumstances. As a result, corporate priorities overlook the key threats and changing environments. Boards must stay informed about current and future business trends while adapting to new threats, risks and opportunities that build their path to the future.(ii) To Improve Board-Management Relationship and Dynamics: Misaligned priorities between boards and their management were noted throughout the survey, with differing ideas on key organisational priorities and areas that require more attention from the board. While boards place greater importance on business model agility, diversification and transformation, management believe human capital strategy and development should be a priority. Boards and management must conduct more meaningful discussions, realign and agree on priorities as well as expectations of both parties to enhance the working relationship dynamics for increased effectiveness.(iii) Progressive and Forward-looking Board Architecture and Culture: Management express reservations about the board?s current ability and skillset to steer the company strategically. The existing blend of knowledge, experience, and qualities fall short of supporting evolving business needs in the coming years. Boards must begin cultivating a culture of open dialogue, courage, and candour amongst each other. Nomination and Remuneration Committees (NRC) play a vital role in ensuring the right mix of board members, led by the chairman who plays a pivotal role in fostering a progressive board culture and managing board-management dynamics. (iv) Board Effectiveness at Taking Stock: While boards may perceive their performance positively, management highlight a lack of diverse perspectives which hinders insightful discussions and creates blind spots to critical issues. Some respondents felt that their board deliberations do not bring value or enhance decision-making quality, with over half stating that board members rarely express conflicting views. Boards must look internally to assess their value proposition, skills, governance and mindset to effectively catalyse their growth.(v) Navigating Board Sustainability Challenges: While many acknowledge that sustainability goes beyond mere reporting and some boards are already embracing or planning to adopt sustainable strategies, management remain sceptical about the board?s current knowledge and ability to fulfill its oversight role. While boards recognise that their challenge lies in setting up the right governance with clear performance target measurement, they must also acknowledge the important need to support the human capital function and concerns through talent governance. Health, safety and wellbeing, talent management and succession planning are among top sustainability matters for boards? attention.As boards begin to address these critical areas in governance, the key actions they need to take begin with undertaking a formal board effectiveness evaluation encompassing candid, 360-degree assessment. Boards must obtain holistic perspectives to better understand their current landscape, working dynamics amongst themselves and between their management, as well as identify development needs. It is vital that boards reevaluate their composition and remuneration packages at regular intervals and proactively foster strong board-management relationships and dynamics. In realigning organisational priorities through joint strategic planning sessions, boards must practice the art of asking challenging questions for more robust discussions. Organisations must prioritise talent governance and organisational culture to ensure a conducive environment for innovation and productivity, while embracing sustainability agendas authentically, avoiding greenwashing, and embodying authenticity and purpose as leaders are essential for driving organisational success.In addition to the 2024 ASEAN Board Trends report, ICDM also announced the formation of an ASEAN Directors Registry under the ASEAN IOD Network initiative. Aiming to go fully operational in July, the registry marks a significant stride in fostering global recognition for ASEAN board talent. Recognising the needs of boards with regional perspectives, this initiative aims to actively advocate for enhanced ASEAN representation on the boards of businesses with a presence in the region. With this registry, it seeks to elevate the value proposition for members of ASEAN Institutes of Directors by expanding their access to a broader spectrum of directorship opportunities and give organisations a wider selection of board-ready candidates with international or regional experience.The survey was conducted in collaboration with partners under the ASEAN IOD Network, which was initiated in 2020 to better serve the board community in the region and beyond. These partners include the Institute of Directors Thailand (IoD Thai), Institute of Corporate Directors, Philippines (ICDPh), Vietnam Institute of Directors (VIOD), Myanmar Institute of Directors (MIoD), Singapore Institute of Directors (SID), Indonesian Institute of Corporate Directors (IICD), Darussalam Assets Sdn Bhd and the International Business Chamber of Cambodia (IBC). The survey can be accessed on ICDM?s website here.About the Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (ICDM):The Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (ICDM) is a membership-based organisation whose mandate is to professionalise directorship in Malaysia. As the national institute of directors (IoD), ICDM is committed to providing continuous professional development - empowering boards and directors with forward-thinking mindsets, practical knowledge and essenti

Energy Regulators Forum to Convene Glo..（JCN プレスリリース）

SINGAPORE, Jan 22, 2024 - ( JCN Newswire ) - SINGAPORE, Jan 22, 2024 - (JCN Newswire) - The complexities of the trilemma of security, affordability, and sustainability in the energy sector, warrants the urgent need for effective and adaptable regulatory policies. Against this backdrop, the world's leading energy authorities will gather at the Energy Regulators Forum (ERF) from 15-17 May 2024, to chart a dynamic course for energy policy and regulatory advancements that will spearhead the energy transition.Held annually by the Energy Regulators Regional Association (ERRA), the 21st edition of the event will take place at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre in Bangkok, Thailand hosted and supported by the Energy Regulatory Commission of Thailand. Taking place for the first time in Asia, the event is set to unite global regulators, visionary investors, system operators, top-tier consultants, and academics in high-level dialogue that will significantly impact the future of the energy market.In a strategic partnership this year, ERF will be co-located with the Future Energy Asia Exhibition and Summit (FEA) in Bangkok, allowing for powerful synergies with the hugely successful FEA that attracts an impressive 21,000 business leaders and policymakers, serving as the platform for propelling a revolutionary energy transition agenda from an Asian perspective.Kacper Jarosz, Deputy Program Director at ERRA, emphasised the crucial role of energy regulators in the transition. He said: "Energy regulators safeguard the effectiveness of modern energy systems and markets. They are tasked with the delicate balancing act between entrepreneurship, innovation, and consumer protection. ERRA is at the forefront of international discussions on best practices, particularly regarding the energy transition. We are thrilled to bring the regulatory agenda of our 48-member regulatory authorities to the Future Energy Asia Exhibition and Summit in 2024.""How to progress the Energy Transition has become one of the most pertinent topics for the global energy sector. A transformation of the energy landscape in moving from fossil-based to zero-carbon sources has become a big challenge for every country to achieve while the risks of climate change are becoming increasingly tangible. The goal is to successfully reduce carbon emissions and limit global temperature increase to 1.5degC of pre-industrial levels. To meet the global warming limit, concerted efforts are urgently needed to reduce emissions and reach global net-zero emissions by 2050.

It reaffirms the confidence Tokyo Tatemono has in our company as a leader in the Campus Condo market and the lifestyle-oriented real estate market in Thailand. Tokyo Tatemono, a reputable and well-established Japanese listed on the Japanese stock exchange, has a diverse portfolio of real estate developments, including residential and commercial properties, such as hotels, golf courses, and office buildings. They are known for their attention to detail and commitment to developing high-quality projects.

Prior to this collaboration, ASW and Tokyo Tatemono jointly invested in the "Atmoz Oasis Onnut" project, comprising 1,110 units with a project value of 2,200 million baht.The CEO of ASW, in discussing the real estate market in Chonburi province, highlighted its remarkable and continuous growth. Chonburi is one of the areas in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), which has seen significant infrastructure development, including projects like the Motorway (Pattaya-Map Ta Phut), High-Speed Rail (Bangkok-Rayong), Laem Chabang Phase 3 Deep Seaport, and the High-Speed Rail Linking 3 Airports (U-Tapao-Suvarnabhumi-Don Mueang). The High-Speed Rail project will connect Don Mueang Airport, Suvarnabhumi Airport, and U-Tapao Airport, covering a distance of over 220 kilometers, and will utilize an area in Sri Racha district, Chonburi, spanning over 25 rai as one of its stations.Chonburi province also has plans to become a hub for digital innovation and industry promotion, developing digital talents. There are also plans to establish a comprehensive medical innovation center to support advanced medical research and innovation. Additionally, Chonburi aims to be a significant tourist destination, attracting both local residents and working professionals, as well as foreign executives, second-home buyers, and investors looking for rental properties. This development will positively impact the real estate market in the province, with an estimated 8.4% average increase in new residential addresses entering the market and a 5.6% average increase in new sales per year during 2023-2025.The focus on the "Bang Saen" area, which is home to the renowned Burapha University, is also noteworthy. Burapha University is part of the special economic promotion project for genomics medicine, supporting comprehensive medical and healthcare businesses, including an operating center at the university's Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences with an area of over 3 rai and an investment budget of 1,250 million baht. The plan is to establish a center for DNA testing and data storage for genomics in Thailand, promoting advanced medical research and elevating Thailand's healthcare to a leading global level.Furthermore, Bang Saen is a popular seaside tourist destination that never sleeps, attracting tourists as well as being a gathering place for the lifestyle of the new generation, including the more than 25,000 students from Burapha University, residents, workers, and tourists. This has created a demand for condominium-type residential properties, both from students seeking long-term accommodations for their studies and some students' parents who buy properties for their children to live in during their studies and later sell or rent out for a good return on investment. Additionally, the area attracts investors, workers in the surrounding large industrial estates, and tourists who enjoy the lifestyle in Bang Saen.Mr.Tajima, Managing Executive Officer and Director of the Overseas Business Division at Tokyo Tatemono Co., Ltd., states that the company recognizes the potential of the "Kave Coco Bang Saen" project, which is located in an area with high purchasing power within the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). All projects under the Kave brand of ASW have received significant positive feedback from customers, including both residential buyers and investors seeking rental properties for good returns. The company is confident that the Kave Coco Bang Saen project will also be highly successful."We have confidence in ASW, a real estate development company with a broad vision, dedicated to elevating the quality of living and adding value in the future. We have seen success with over 50 quality real estate projects, as well as the commitment to expand growth in various markets. This joint venture will lead to another quality project and further strengthen our growth together," Mr. Tajima says.ASW conducts real estate development focusing on high-rise and low-rise residential projects in high-potential locations.
