He is happy to discuss disposables, sustainability of events, public education, and is familiar with corporate social responsibility and community / youth engagement.

On a mission to create positive impact in the world, I consider myself an accidental entrepreneur. I discovered this during the 2009 economic crisis and in 2010, embarked on my first people, planet, profit venture; at the time challenging the negative perception of plant-based diets; enabling reduced-carbon and responsible consumption through a (then) pioneering circularity, systems-thinking, and purpose-led business.

In 2015, relocating to Singapore with a more intentional move back to my innovation roots, I found few to no organisations combining both sustainability and innovation. It was this that seeded my vision for The Inceptery.

These initiatives have benefitted more than 1,000 Singapore companies.

Hu Ching marries his passion for climate action and education by serving as adjunct trainer for sustainability-related executive education programmes. He was previously Climate Regulations and Reporting Specialist at climate tech startup Terrascope and launched the Singapore office of global corporate sustainability ratings agency EcoVadis. Hu Ching has a deep interest in public policy, having started his career with the Singapore Government.

He graduated from the London School of Economics, SciencesPo Paris, and Oxford University. As an undergraduate at Oxford, he helped launch the inaugural Oxford Climate Forum - the UK's largest student-run climate change event.

I enjoy improving processes and creating data-driven insights. My background is in process development and operations as Quality Manager and COO. A few years back, I decided to re-purpose my career and have since then studied different aspects of Sustainable Business Development at the University in Sweden as well as the Sustainability Reporting Standards (GRI, SASB, TCFD and ISSB work in progress).

Now, I am here to help SMEs integrate sustainability into their business strategy and operations, focusing on the impact that environmental and social aspects will have on the organisation's ability to create value. By reducing the scope to the most relevant materiality topics, even SMEs with limited resources have a chance to start their transition to more sustainable practices.

I am a social impact cum sustainability professional and a writer. I am driven by Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy that "the difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problems". My work through my company Sustainpath is at the intersection of People, Planet and Profit – the Triple Bottom Line (TBL).  

As a sustainability communicator and content writer, I believe in the power of words to drive real change. With my background in corporate operations, I understand how to optimize from the inside out. Since pivoting to sustainability, I've become versed in ESG standards such as the PRCA and GRI to cut through greenwashing and foster transparency.

Now I apply my technical knowledge and passion for authentic messaging to help companies communicate their sustainability efforts in a strategic, materiality-focused way, both internally and externally. I help organizations to begin their sustainability transition and communicate this to their various stakeholders. I aim to prove that incremental changes, paired with purposeful communications, can transform businesses and communities.

Nicolas graduated in IT and marketing and began his career in 2008 at SAUTER, a Swiss building management systems (BMS)supplier, at its Swiss headquarters. He spent several years as a product manager and led the launch of the first BMS cloud platform in Europe. In 2015he moved into business development for the APAC region and relocated to Shanghai for twenty months to work closer to the markets he served. He settled in Singapore in 2018, where he created and directed the SAUTER APAC Competence Centre until June 2022.

He left SAUTER that year to dedicate himself fully to beez-fm, the GreenTech company he had founded in December 2019and leads today as CEO. After eighteen years inside the building automation industry across Europe and Asia, Nicolas built beez-fm to fix what he believes is the real cause of the climate crisis in our buildings: not a technology gap, but a broken market structure.

The idea behind beez-fm, in three lines:

Why. We believe the climate crisis is solved by re-aligning incentives, not by selling more products. When everyone profits from verified outcomes instead of transactions, decarbonisation stops being expensive and becomes inevitable.

How. We flip the model. Green Funds pay, not the building. We earn only when a building saves more.

What. We sell AI-verified decarbonisation projects to Green Funds. Buildings upgrade at zero CAPEX.
