Our Purpose Statement

So Every Generation Prospers

We aspire to help every generation thrive by empowering the well-being of our people, portfolio companies, partners, communities, and the planet we share as a common home. Importantly, we see the responsibility to do this not just for today’s, but also for future generations.

Our Purpose Principles underpin why we do what we do, highlighting our unique strengths as a firm. 

We invest in human potential

We actively embrace diverse perspectives and skill sets, empowering the linear and lateral thinking of our people to realise their fullest potential both individually and collectively.

 

We catalyse solutions

Problem-solving with agility and investing with integrity, we mobilise financial, human, natural, and social capital to transform complex challenges into opportunities. 

We build with courage
 

With conviction and courage, we turn ambition into actions that chart the course for those who come next.

We grow for generations

We steward and grow our portfolio, communities and the future, creating positive outcomes that will outlive us all. 

We have been recognised as a Champion of Good 2024—the highest tier under the Company of Good (COG) recognition system from the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) of Singapore.

This national-level recognition further affirms Temasek’s commitment to our Purpose. Read more about the conferment here.
