    WWF-Singapore’s Chew on building coalitions

    As Chew Sutat takes on the task of leading the Singapore chapter of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF-Singapore), he tells The Business Times that scaling up support for nature and climate issues means framing challenges in ways that resonate with the motivations of different stakeholders.

    Chew knows a little something about what matters to different stakeholders. After all, he has been many of those stakeholders at some point in a career that he likes to describe as having taken him “from profit, to people, to planet”.
