Sharon Yuen, Chief Commercial Officer at STACS said,
“I am driven to be part of the dynamic growth at STACS. It is hugely exciting to be joining at an opportune time when STACS is rapidly expanding its verticals on ESG Finance, in partnership with Singapore’s central bank.
Our team will be laser-focused, with a clear product roadmap to target the best-of-breed partners and clients, and I look forward to leading the charge and continuing driving this success forward with STACS.”
This appointment follows STACS’s partnership announcement with the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) on Project Greenprint last November.
STACS’s flagship blockchain-powered platform ESGpedia will be used for the Project Greenprint ESG Registry.
ESGpedia is an industry-wide library that provides financial institutions, corporates, and regulatory authorities a single point of access to quality ESG certifications and data of various industry sectors, and enhances the mobilisation of ESG capital.
It is currently deployed in its beta phase, with ongoing partnerships with numerous leading financial institutions and a growing ecosystem spanning various sectors.
