Project Background


In the society today, the pace of globalization is undeniable. With remarkable increase in transportation, communication and technology, it has made the world more interdependent than ever. However, as companies reap in the success of globalization, Mother Earth sacrifices.

Resource depletion and severe environmental issues has not only motivated the increasing interest towards renewable resources but also, sustainability policies. The limelight on sustainability development has proved to be a valuable area for development reaping huge benefits. Businesses are now moving to take an active role in developing practices promoting sustainability with initiatives such as sustainable logistics.

The Green Transformation Lab (GTL) is a joint initiative by SMU and DHL aimed at accelerating the evolution of sustainable logistics across Asia Pacific. Leveraging SMU’s multi-faculty academic excellence and DHL’s sustainability services, expertise and capability in supply chains, the Green Transformation Lab focuses on creating solutions that help companies transform their supply chains, becoming greener, more resource efficient and sustainable.

We will be embarking on gaining further insights on GTL’s sustainability heat map project, which is a group of heat maps with global profiling of areas and trends on sustainability related jobs as well as sustainability related topics on Twitter.


Motivation

Due to the increasing gap between companies’ sustainability initiatives and the workforce involvement, more efforts are placed in integrating sustainability concepts into business models and jobs so as to create a greater impact on the environment.

Through this project, we are interested to understand the elements powering the creation of sustainability jobs, be it government policies, workforce preference or the pervasive impact of social media.
