Congratulations to ECOSOFTT for winning the ‘Business as a Force for Good Award Singapore 2019 Edition’.
Nominations for the award included firms from a variety of industries and ECOSOFTT, a social enterprise that aims to address the global challenge of water shortage, scarcity and quality, emerged as the winner.
ECOSOFTT was founded by two graduates of the INSEAD TIEMBA programme, Stanley Samuel and Marcus Lim, both TIEMBA’13J. Their work has helped enable numerous communities to be self-reliant, water secure and sustainable.
At the moment the company’s projects reduce fresh water intake by almost five-million litres per day. It has also transformed the lives of thousands of women and girls who have returned to school or learnt economically-useful skills, because they no longer spend hours each day collecting water.
It is wonderful to see that many INSEAD alumni are enabling ‘Business as a Force for Good’ and the National Alumni Association in Singapore is looking forward to recognising such initiatives by making this award an annual tradition
