Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) reflects GIC’s PRIME values which serve as our compass: Prudence, Respect, Integrity, Merit, and Excellence. When diverse individuals feel included, we build shared belonging to GIC and to one another, in service of GIC’s mission. This enables us to build a community where we can be our authentic selves and where our contributions are recognised and aligned with corporate goals.

Our Beliefs

We believe that diverse perspectives allow us to generate better ideas, make more informed decisions, and build a more resilient organisation.

Beyond diversity, a culture of belonging and inclusion enables us to unlock each individual’s potential and harness the strengths of diverse teams. We perform better—individually and collectively—when we experience psychological safety, embrace differences, and support one another to thrive.

Our Approach

Our approach to DEI is consistent, principles-led, and never about affirmative action. Even as we reach out to talent pools, we always hire based on meritocracy and excellence. Our DEI recruitment programmes widen the field of candidates, but all undergo the same selection assessments to ensure the right fit for the role.

Harnessing Diversity for Performance

As an employer, we firmly believe every individual brings unique diversity of thought and perspectives that meaningfully enrich GIC teams and drive competitive performance.

As an investor, we believe that diversity is a hallmark of good corporate governance, and a key consideration we include in investment due diligence to create long-term shareholder value.

Promoting an Equitable Workplace

We implement merit-based practices and people management policies across dimensions such as compensation, performance, conduct, and progression.

We are committed to conducting proactive self-checks on our internal processes and outcomes to ensure we are building an equitable workplace for all GICians.

Fostering an Inclusive Environment

We seek to build an inclusive culture via both top-down and bottom-up initiatives, from designing a diverse range of employee benefits with inclusivity in mind, to organising GIC-wide celebratory and learning initiatives for DEI globally.

We recognise that every GICian has a part to play in this continuous journey towards greater inclusivity.

“As investors, we must not only recognise the impact of DEI but also translate it to action. In practice, it means adopting DEI as a business imperative for long-term success. This is critical to how we attract and retain top talent for performance, and build our brand and industry standing.”
