From AI to ESG: Keppel CEO Loh Chin Hua’s take on the big trends
He sees a ‘very bright’ future for the company, in that its strengths have positioned it to succeed, even amid climate, energy and digitalisation challenges
Loh Chin Hua has big plans for Keppel. The asset manager is gunning to hit S$200 billion in funds under management (FUM) by 2030, while also tackling challenges such as climate change, the energy transition and digitalisation.
Real estate used to be Keppel’s largest earnings contributor, but the company has evolved significantly in its transformation in recent years. The company’s latest annual report, released on Friday (Mar 28), gave an insight into Loh’s thoughts on a range of subjects – from artificial intelligence (AI) to environmental, social and governance issues.
The Business Times reproduces excerpts:
