Building a sustainable advantage entails operating a solid franchise in the present, while also investing for the future. In 2023, we fortified our position in Singapore and deepened our presence in key growth markets across Asia. We developed innovative solutions to help our customers achieve their goals in an effective, seamless and secure manner. As a purpose-driven bank, we also continued to advance the sustainability agenda, creating environmental and social impact.
“Being a responsible corporate citizen is a core tenet of who DBS is, with the group having embedded corporate responsibility principles in its group-level sustainability strategy. This year, Euromoney recognises the efforts of DBS to elevate its own corporate responsibility framework and set regional standards for its peers, while influencing its clients and other stakeholders on good governance.”
