The Corporate Affairs and Communications (CAC) department is responsible for managing corporate affairs, branding and reputation, and all internal and external communications. It includes GIC’s interface with key stakeholders, including the general public and media.  

Impact & Partnerships

A new function of Corporate Affairs & Communications (CAC), the Impact & Partnerships team looks to build GIC’s global network, organizational purpose and community involvement through developing and managing a strong partnership strategy, programming and an ecosystem of partners.

The complex challenges facing the world today require active partnership and collaboration within and across stakeholder groups to solve. GIC’s Social Impact efforts started in 2015 and has grown steadily to include both Singapore (HQ) flagship programmes as well as on-the-ground community outreach across our global offices. With the continued growth of GIC’s global profile and footprint and GIC’s position as a leading global long-term investor, a dedicated Impact & Partnerships team within CAC will serve to develop GIC’s external relations strategy, create value with GIC’s network of partners, and extend GIC’s social purpose and community impact across the business.
