KEY SOLUTIONS

DBS is trying to solve the complex and diverse challenges of Asia’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

• Asia’s Green Transition is Extremely Complex: Many Asian countries are still developing their green agendas, and the region is the world’s manufacturing hub, emitting half of global greenhouse gas emissions. This figure is expected to increase even with net-zero targets.
• Obstacles to Rapid Deployment of Clean Energy: There are challenges in rapidly deploying clean energy at scale while maintaining affordability, accessibility, and ensuring a just transition for all.
• Twin Challenges to the Transition: Asia has the youngest coal-fired power plants in the world, and there are obstacles to rapidly deploying clean energy at scale.

DBS recognizes the need to properly manage carbon emissions and contribute to a just and fair transition towards a net-zero future for Asia.

With its extensive network of operations in Asia and emphasis on engaging and empowering its staff, DBS presents exciting career opportunities. For more information, please visit www.dbs.com.
