We have identified 4 broad categories where we can make a positive CSR contribution:

Climate Action
Carbon management is a key environmental concern among all stakeholders. Decarbonizing our world requires a collective, global effort by countries and companies working together. Asian Tigers China is active in both compliance (mandatory) and voluntary carbon offset markets. Asian Tigers China takes GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard as guidance and uses GHG Emissions Calculation Tool for GHG inventory report.
Asian Tigers China is committed to:continue our efforts to reduce our GHG emissions;conduct risk assessment to safeguard resiliency of our commercial activitiestransparently report on our progress, risks and opportunities align with our GHG inventory report;establish criteria to demonstrate meaningful environmental performance and improvement across the lifecycle of our services.
Asian Tigers China recognizes responding to climate change as one of its most important management issues. Accordingly, we set annual targets to guide initiatives to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in both our own business and the services we provide. Going forward, we will intensify our activities based on GHG Emissions Vision 2050, a long term vision looking ahead to the year 2050. As part of the vision’s response to climate change, we aim to achieve a 50% reduction in GHG emissions generated by the year 2035 compared to the year 2020 level and to contribute to realizing a net zero emissions by the year 2050. To fulfill these targets, we will concentrate in our activities on investing in energy-saving equipment such as replace with electricity vehicles and expanding the use of renewable energy (solar energy), while in the area of services we will focus on development of energy technologies to realize decarbonization.

Nature
We, the Asian Tigers Group has joined forces with WWF-Singapore to help protect and secure a future for the wild tigers in Asia.
Wild tiger populations in Asia have plunged by over 95% over the past century. Together with WWF, Asian Tigers Group is taking action to help reverse this trend. Wild tiger numbers are declining in all tiger range countries in mainland Southeast Asia, and it is now a near certainty that these countries will have fewer tigers than they did in 2010 – the year the global goal was set to double the world’s wild tigers by 2022.
To bring hope for the overall biodiversity, Asian Tigers Group embarked on a partnership with WWF-Singapore in 2017 to reserve a steep decline in the population of wild tigers by supporting TX2 - a WWF supported goal to double the number of wild tigers by 2022. The partnership enters its fifth year after being renewed for another two years in May 2021, affirming Asian Tigers Group as one of WWF-Singapore’s longest-running partners. With the partnership, conservation standards (CA|TS) and technology (SMART) continue to be refined and implemented across tiger sites to mitigate poaching and prevent snares from wiping out the big cats from their forest homes.
