Singapore-based investment firm aligns with global principles on sustainability and responsible business

GMA Capital Partners UN Global Compact Singapore Membership Announced

GMA Capital Partners UN Global Compact Singapore membership has been confirmed as the Singapore-based investment firm officially joined the United Nations Global Compact Network Singapore (UNGCNS). The move reflects the firm’s intention to align its operations with globally recognised principles on responsible business conduct and sustainable development.

Headquartered in Singapore, GMA Capital Partners focuses on long-term principal investments, structured capital solutions, and cross-border partnerships across real-economy sectors. These include infrastructure, energy transition, logistics, and strategic industrial markets, where governance and regulatory alignment are increasingly critical to long-term value creation.

Engagement With Global Sustainability Principles

By joining UNGCNS, GMA Capital Partners gains access to a local platform connected to the United Nations Global Compact’s Ten Principles. These principles cover key areas such as human rights, labour standards, environmental responsibility, and anti-corruption practices.

The network also provides opportunities for regional dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge sharing on sustainability-related challenges and best practices. UNGCNS serves as the Singapore chapter of the United Nations Global Compact, the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative.

Leadership Perspective on Responsible Investment

Chasen Nevett, Managing Partner of GMA Capital Partners, said the decision reflects the firm’s intention to engage constructively with sustainability discussions in Singapore and across the region. He emphasized that disciplined capital allocation into real-economy assets remains central to the firm’s strategy.

According to Nevett, governance standards, regulatory alignment, and long-term resilience are essential components of value creation, particularly in sectors exposed to transition-related risks and structural change.

Sustainability Integrated Into Investment Strategy

GMA Capital Partners’ sustainability approach emphasizes transparency, commercial discipline, and careful assessment of transition risks and opportunities. These factors are considered critical to asset durability and long-term performance, particularly in capital-intensive sectors.

The firm stated it looks forward to participating in UNGCNS programmes and contributing to ongoing discussions on sustainable finance and responsible business practices within the regional investment community.

Strengthening Regional Sustainability Engagement

The GMA Capital Partners UN Global Compact Singapore membership highlights a growing trend among investment firms to formally align with international sustainability frameworks. As regulatory expectations and stakeholder scrutiny increase, such commitments are becoming integral to long-term investment credibility and operational resilience.
