The way we work is founded deeply on respect for one another and a clear sense of purpose.
Making inclusion explicit signals to GICians internally and our international community that we can bring diversity of talent and thoughts – our whole selves – to GIC, as we all strive to invest well for Singapore. An inclusive environment yields exceptional contribution. When diverse teams feel included, we build shared belonging to one another and to GIC.
Crucially, even as we strive to reach out to less represented talent pools, we hire based on meritocracy and performance, and this is never compromised. To us, DEI is not about affirmative action. Our DEI recruitment programmes enable us to tap into larger talent pools, but candidates under these programmes undergo the same selection assessments to ensure best fit for the job.
We acknowledge that DEI is a continuous journey and are committed to improving in this space.
Our approach to DEI is consistent and principles-led, anchored in three pillars: embracing diversity across multiple dimensions by cultivating a global and diverse talent pool; ensuring fairness for all regardless of backgrounds in an equitable workplace; and enabling GICians to be at their best through inclusive practices.
As an employer, we firmly believe every individual brings with them unique diversity of thought and perspectives to meaningfully enrich perspectives of GIC teams to drive competitive performance. As an investor, we believe that diversity is a hallmark of good corporate governance, and a key consideration we include in investment due diligence to drive long-term shareholder value.
We implement merit-based practices and people management policies across dimensions such as compensation, performance, conduct, and progression. We are committed to conducting proactive self-checks on our internal processes and outcomes to ensure we are building an equitable workplace for all GICians.
We believe an inclusive environment will yield exceptional contributions and instill a sense of belonging, by actively inviting participation and contribution from all. We seek to build an inclusive culture via both top-down and bottom-up initiatives, from designing our diverse range of employee benefits with inclusivity in mind, to organising GIC-wide celebratory and learning initiatives for DEI globally. We recognise that every GICian has a part to play in this continuous journey towards greater inclusivity.
Deanna Ong,
Chief People Officer, GIC
On 30 October 2024, GIC hosted the official launch of the CFA Institute DEI Code in Singapore at our headquarters in Capital Tower, jointly organised with the CFA Society Singapore. We were also among the first signatories to the Code, committing to work on the six DEI Code Core Principles: Pipeline, Talent Acquisition, Promotion and Retention, Leadership, Influence, and Measurement. These principles are aligned with our DEI beliefs and ongoing efforts.
