• Previously served as the group CRO & Senior EVP for Strategic Finance
• Appointment highlights group's commitment to sustainable, long-term business value creation

Singapore mainboard-listed fintech and digital banking solutions provider Silverlake Axis (SAL) has announced the appointment of Anil Singh Gill (pic) as chief sustainability officer. This appointment solidifies the group’s commitment to long-term and responsible business value creation by ensuring that its future initiatives align with the sustainability pillars established in SAL’s Annual ESG Report, the firm said in a statement.

Upholding sustainable business practices has always been among SAL’s core values. This commitment was exemplified by the group’s decision to establish the E-waste Policy in FY2023, which clearly defines the proper procedures and relevant stakeholders’ responsibilities in the oversight and monitoring of e-waste.

SAL recognises that sustainability is not a one-stop journey, and Gill’s appointment is the logical next step to ensure the successful integration of ESG into SAL’s Enterprise Risk Management System.

Gill has been with the company for four years, serving as the group chief risk officer and senior executive vice president of Strategic Finance since 2019. He brings with him over 20 years of experience in the banking & financial services sector and extensive knowledge of the ESG landscape.

"I am excited to take on this new role and continue to work towards advancing SAL's ESG goals," said Gill. "Over the past four years, I have been privileged to work with such a great team, and I look forward to continuing to collaborate with them to ensure that ESG is integrated into the company's decision-making processes. As an experienced banker, I am also committed to ensuring that our sustainability efforts align with the ESG landscape of the banking industry," he added.

In his new role, Gill will be responsible for leading and overseeing SAL's sustainability efforts across all areas of the business. He will report directly to SAL's group managing director, Andrew Tan, and work closely with SAL's leadership team to advance the company's ESG goals. He will oversee the development and implementation of sustainability strategies, policies, and initiatives that align with SAL's business objectives and contribute to sustainable development in the communities where we operate.

"Gill has been a valuable member of the SAL family for the past four years, and we are delighted to appoint him as our chief sustainability officer. His experience and expertise in the banking industry and the ESG landscape will undoubtedly help us to achieve our sustainability objectives, and we look forward to working with him to create long-term value for our stakeholders," Tan said.
