CHAPTER ON SUSTAINABILITY BONDS & ESG INVESTMENTS PUBLISHED IN THE BOOK “WOSH.WORLD FUTURE READY”

Late last year, I wrote an article called "Sustainability Bonds: ESG Investments for Hawkerpreneurs" , which includes an elucidation of the Sustainability Bond model which I recently designed for WOSH.WORLD, along with supplementary information on Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) and Green Bonds. I am pleased to announce that it has been published as a chapter (Chapter 1.3 pages 44 - 55) in the recently launched book, WOSH.WORLD FutureReady.

Singapore-based social purpose-driven aggregator, WOSH.WORLD (https://woshworld.com/), which invests in and aggregates Hawkerpreneurs, is the publisher of the book.

This is a business and economics book constituting of a collation of chapters, written by several authors,  focusing on the theme of the history, Mainstream & ESG Investments, wellbeing and current innovations pertaining to the global scene of Entrepreneurial Food Street Vendors, i.e. the 'Hawkerpreneurs'.

WOSH.WORLD has stated that it wanted these topics that are connected to this theme, in particular, the exploration of “Alternative Protein Foods, StreetFood with Metaverse, From Night Market to Capital Market, From Food Street to Wall Street, and From Indigenous to Fusion Food in Southeast Asia”. In parallel, WOSH.WORLD has also stated that it encouraged the authors to analyse and write on another critical theme, being the exploration of “…fresh, innovative ideas and technologies on how Street Food can be transformed to include Digitalisation, AI, Robotics, Blockchain, NFTs and the Metaverse”.

WOSH.WORLD FutureReady was curated (i.e. edited and published) by Victor F.A. Ng, Peter Y.B. Tay, Peter Kwok, Daniel W. Ho and Chua Sin Chew, who are all part of the WOSH.WORLD team. A special thank you to them for inviting me to contribute to this amazing book.

You can purchase WOSH.WORLD FutureReady on Amazon where a paperback version of the entire book can be bought online and delivered via the following link: Amazon.com.

AsiaOne, a Singapore-based digital news portal, has covered the launch of the book in a recent article titled “Book launch: WOSH.WORLD FutureReady”.
