This role is hired under Mandai X, the growth accelerator and venture building arm of Mandai Wildlife Group.
We live in a world where the delicate balance with nature has been disrupted. Reversing this trend will require a global effort of unprecedented speed and scale.
An impossible task alone.
Which is why we challenge ourselves to reach 1 billion consumers, as potential for change can only happen when many come together.
And this is where Mandai X can make a difference. Working to influence changes in attitudes, decisions and behaviours.
Leveraging over 50 years of experience in inspiring people to value and protect nature as part of the Mandai Wildlife Group, our efforts will spark, catalyse and accelerate innovative ventures in completely new domains to drive growth and impact beyond boundaries. Eliminating the well-entrenched trade-offs faced between commercial, human and the planet’s wellbeing; and blending everything together so that these usual conflicts faced are aligned.
We will redefine what a better life means; and unleash humanity’s collective power to make this change through impactful ventures that enable and empower individuals and companies with everyday choices that not only help them, but also make the world a better place at the same time.
