His role will involve integrating the latest environmental, social and governance (ESG) trends into corporate practice, communicating sustainability programmes to external and internal audiences and sustainability reporting.
He takes over the role from Loh Su Kim, who has moved on after more than 10 years with the Genting-owned casino operator, the latter four running its sustainability function.
