For Yohanes Jeffry Johary, managing director at facilities services company OCS Indonesia, the journey to sustainability growth has been an evolving priority for a while now. In Johary’s view, businesses that fail to address sustainability risks may find it harder to attract investments, thereby making way for an emphasis on sustainability goals among organisations. “It is not a new initiative, instead, it represents the ongoing maturation of the global movement that has been shaping how businesses operate and compete in the marketplace for many years.” Yohanes Jeffry Johary OCS Allan Tan FutureCFO Arra Czarina Igno CXOCIETY Clarise Goh Nigel Standley Perry Zhao Craig S.
