Appendix — Creating Our Impact Framework At NUS, we strive to stay true to the ethos of our founding by creating value for the communities we serve. In this first impact report, we provide a narrative of NUS’ value creation over five years, from 2016 to 2020, elucidating the impact we bring to individuals, communities and our nation.
Within each pillar, we have defined specific impact areas with key indicators to measure our performance and progress. Each pillar is overlapping and interconnected. Our vision can only be achieved when all the elements of the framework work in concert, with the efforts and support of our stakeholders.
Our impact framework stems from our vision, which provides the foundation upon which three key pillars are built:
Underpinning our approach is a focus on sustainability, a commitment to community service, strong governance and leadership, and a culture of collaboration and partnership.
¡¡ Shaping Future Talent This impact framework serves as a guide for future value creation. We plan to drive continuous improvement in the way we create impact by using this framework as a scorecard to assess and report our progress.
