On 28 October 2024, the Brunei Sustainable Economy Forum convened at Balai Khazanah Islam Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, bringing together thought leaders, policymakers, and experts. Organised by the ASEAN and APEC Business Advisory Councils of Brunei in partnership with the Ministry of Finance and Economy, the forum focused on “Towards a Circular Economy: Building a Resilient and Sustainable Brunei.” As Brunei seeks to diversify its economy and reduce its reliance on finite resources, the forum provided a platform to discuss circular economy strategies and best practices, with insights from the ASEAN, APEC, and BIMP-EAGA regions. Baiduri Bank is proud to be a founding partner of the Brunei Economy Programme, which bridges ASEAN and APEC with the Bruneian business community to foster economic collaboration and sustainable growth. The event featured keynote addresses and discussions from distinguished speakers, including Yang Berhormat Dato Seri Setia Dr Hj Abdul Manaf bin Hj Metussin, Dr. Rene Van Berkel, and Professor Scott Valentine, offering participants actionable insights to adopt circular economy practices, paving the way for a resilient future.

When it comes to networking, quality trumps quantity. It’s not about how many business cards you collect, but rather the depth of the relationships you build. Genuine connections can unlock opportunities that surface-level acquaintances simply cannot. Take the time to reach out with intention—before seeking something, consider how you can add value to the other person’s life or work. Offer support, share useful resources, or provide your expertise. Consistently nurturing these relationships ensures they continue to grow and thrive. We hope the strength of your connections leads you to extraordinary opportunities. Best of luck with your networking journey! #BaiduriBank #ProfessionalGrowth #Career #CareerAdvice #Networking #NetworkingTips

Baiduri Bank is honoured to be a lead partner for the Sustainable Future Forum again this year. Hosted by Asia Inc Forum it brought together companies, entrepreneurs, thinkers and students on a single platform to focus attention on how Brunei can elevate sustainable practices and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In the words of our DCEO, Manuel Bulens, sustainability as a core business value in today’s context is no longer an option but in fact, “required”. We shared our own developments, challenges and opportunities in our sustainability journey, especially in reframing our stakeholders’ perspective to see how sustainability can be a catalyst for growth and a competitive advantage.
