De Rui Wong

De Rui is Senior Vice President of the Sustainability Office at GIC, a global long-term investor established in 1981 to manage Singapore’s foreign reserves.

He leads research on sustainability-related themes such as climate change, nature, supply chains, and inequality that will have material impact on GIC’s investment portfolio. These issues are often overlooked by investors because they take time to manifest, and their impact is difficult to quantity. By collaborating with industry partners, peers, academic thought leaders, and GIC’s investment teams, De Rui develops investment integration tools, analytics, and strategies for GIC to be future-ready for these long-term trends. He also chairs the Paris-Aligned Investing working group in the Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC) which seeks to share and advance emerging investor solutions for facilitating the transition to a net zero emissions economy.

De Rui holds a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Economics from Northwestern University.
