Who Are We
Asia Institute for Sustainability (AIS) is an industry-led initiative committed to strengthening capacity and accountability within Asia’s sustainability ecosystem. Rooted in a shared responsibility for our planet and communities, AIS aims to address economic disparities and environmental challenges through innovation, evidence-based leadership, and community-driven solutions.
Our Purpose
We are dedicated to shaping a future where sustainability is central to business success and societal well-being. By equipping business leaders, institutions, and corporations with the tools and insights to lead with purpose, we foster an ecosystem where sustainable practices graduate from compliance to becoming a strategic advantage.
Our work aligns with international efforts to end extreme poverty, reduce inequality, and protect the environment. We believe that businesses have a critical role to play in this transition; and that meaningful progress is only possible through inclusive partnerships between the private sector, governments, civil society, and local communities.
Through thought leadership, strategic collaboration, and capacity-building, AIS seeks to embed ethical practices and credible standards across the region, while empowering organisations to lead the shift towards a resilient and regenerative future.
Together, we can build a sustainable world for generations to come.
Our Approaches
Guided by a commitment to integrity, inclusivity, and impact, our work is grounded in three core pillars:
- Community
Empowering local and regional networks to drive sustainable transformation from the ground up. - Competency
Enhancing capabilities across sectors to embed sustainability as a core business function. - Circularity
Championing circular solutions and regenerative models that reduce waste and restore ecosystems.
