Singapore Week 1 – James Hudson

First week in Singapore! We arrived in our new apartment and were blown away by how nice it was. There is a fountain in the lobby and goes all the way to the 26th floor. The hotel lobby offers free coffee in the morning and our room is one of the few rooms that have a balcony leading to my favourite morning routine of a coffee on the balcony in the morning.

Sunday was St. Patricks day and my friends and I were able to find an Irish pub to spend the night. We all were skeptical of finding one in Asia but after a little research we were found one with live music and it was a great way to start our time in Singapore.

I had my meeting with the Ministry of Manpower to get my Work Holiday Pass (WHP) early Tuesday morning and started my first day of work later that day. One of my close friends works with me so it was nice to be able to share a first day of work together at GreenFi.

GreenFi provides a platform for banks and corporations to more accurately and efficiently assess ESG risk and perform due diligence. The process of assessing ESG risk and performing ESG due diligence is long and can take more than 2 weeks to complete while GreenFi is able to analyze a company’s entire supply chain and assess its ESG risk in minutes by implementing its pre-configured Ai model. Supply chain transparency is crucial to complying with ESG standards and a breach in these standards can be costly to a company when exposed to the public. GreenFi will help save companies’ time and money while also ensuring their supply chain is in accordance with the ESG standards. Financial institutions are prioritizing more sustainable investments showing a steep growth of sustainable finance. The need for an automated comprehensive ESG Risk Assessment is therefore essential to become more competitive.
