And firms have"an integral and multiplier role to play" in doing good, by offering expertise and resources, and mobilising employees for corporate social responsibility initiatives. In his opening address, Temasek Holdings chairman and former labour movement chief Lim Boon Heng said that"the role of up-skilling and re-skilling is so much more important in an environment of rapid change", as leaving workers behind amid industry transformation"is not an option".

The panellists stressed the importance of long-term thinking for responsible stewardship, with Copenhagen Business School's Centre for Corporate Governance professor Steen Thomsen suggesting that this should be rooted in long-term ownership, for instance with family-owned firms.
