“Sustainable Oﬃce Transforma on for Future of Work”
The Singapore Oﬃce Integra on Project transformed ten tradi onal oﬃces into three modern,collabora ve spaces.
By embracing cloud-ﬁrst technology, we achieved a 30% cost reduc on and energy saving over 1
million kWh/year through data center migra on to Azure cloud and eﬃcient IT asset
management.
We also enhanced mee ng spaces, health monitoring, and sustainability, leading to a 76%
workplace sa sfac on ra ng.

I believe we work best when we are together.
Jaselle Yeo (Business Analyst): Great minds think together and come up with great ideas.
We went into COVID overnight, into remote work immediately.
-I miss the collabora on, the me spent with our colleagues.

Janna Ybanez (Senior Talent Acquisi on Analyst): I do believe that the human touch isimportant. At home is a limited space. It’s not really nice looking at the four corners of yourroom and working. A good workplace is s ll way be er.

Johan G van Vuuren (Senior Vice President, Human Resources (Asia Paciﬁc)):
Our physical environment plays a very, very important role. The oﬃce space where they cancome together, also very important symbolic role as to who we are, what we stand for, and how
we work.

Pascal Weiss (Vice President, IT informa on Systems (Asia Paciﬁc), I&T Digital
Transforma on):We see now, in terms of shi , is really, that people need to come to the oﬃce to have a higher
purpose.

Can technology construct how we experience space?
- With this new workplace, it’s actually opened up a lot of opportuni es.
- The workplace is relaxed; the atmosphere is really good.

Sensitivity Label: GeneralJanna: So, in here, I feel like I’m more valued.
Johan: We had mul ple oﬃces, 10 oﬃces, mul ple companies, there was a need for us toconsolidate.
COVID made it clear that footprint we needed was diﬀerent.
So, if you put those two things together, it made for a new design.
We were also incredibly fortunate, in the sense that as a technology company, we enable
workplaces.
As a technology company focused on guiding clients to a connected future, we u lized our inhouse exper se to enhance the employee experience.
Our ﬂagship Apeira oﬃce embodies our vision, promo ng produc vity and collabora on tobe er serve clients.
We also implemented a zero-trust security model, centralized IT opera ons, and automa on tocreate a secure and intelligent workplace.

Pascal: The cloud network, and the zero-trust security is helping us to connect our clients, ouremployees and our partners in a single place. This technology is an enable for the ecosystem towork together and centrally managed.
This is a brand-new technology, addi onal features, such as how to make sure that people
understand the mobility within the oﬃce, the capacity, the mee ng bookings, space facility
management.
To have a central pool of data with all these data points, it’s helping us to have more visibility
and control and also moving to a more sustainable workplace where we can see the u liza onof our consump ons and how we drive the reduc ons.

Janna: One of the things that I no ced is the innova on.
“Ok, Webex start my mee ng.”
Janna: Going back to oﬃce may be a diﬀerent experience.
I feel like I’m at home, everything is accessible to you, we have a very good atmosphere which
will lead to more produc vity on my end.
Jaselle: There are a lot of collabora on areas such as the phonebooth, mee ng rooms or eventhe common areas, if you need silent me, or you need to have a mee ng with your client, you
can always go to a mee ng room.

Sensitivity Label: GeneralJohan: I’ve seen the physical manifesta ons of collabora on.
I’ve also seen people being incredibly proud of what we have.
I’ve seen celebra on coming together.
People come back to the oﬃce with a smile on the face.

“Working toward our sustainability goals.”

Siri (Director, Sustainability Management, (Asia Paciﬁc)): By consolida ng ten oﬃces into
three, we strategically minimized our environmental impact through sustainable prac ces.
We priori zed furniture reuse and waste reduc on.
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is evident in our oﬃce design, which fosters aninclusive and equitable work culture.
"Our new oﬃce move delivered substan al cost savings through e-waste disposal, device
reloca on, and decommissioning.
Addi onally, we achieved a 40% monthly opex reduc on by consolida ng ISDN circuits andshi ing calling workloads to Microso Teams.
Transi oning legacy servers to the cloud also cut costs by 30%.
Furthermore, our eﬀorts led to a 30% reduc on in u lity consump on, saving 1,000,000
KWh/year, while aligning with NTT's Zero-to-Landﬁll policy for responsible IT asset disposal.

Together, we’re using technology to create workspaces of the future while achieving oursustainability goals.

Pascal: we’re really the pioneers in this.
Johan: there’s no doubt in my mind that what we’ve created here does set a standard.
We make hybrid work, work. It really demonstrates in real terms, what is achievable.
Siri: In the face of challenges, we've transformed our workplaces into hubs of innova on,
enabling a more sustainable workplace, keeping our employees safe, and fostering a brighter
future for all.
