Slasify's Ongoing Partnership with Steward Leadership Institute


Stewardship Asia Centre (SAC) has officially rebranded as Steward Leadership Institute (SLI). Slasify's partnership continues under the new name, with no change to the agreement or to Slasify's role as a Supporting Partner for Steward Leadership 25 (SL25). The partnership keeps its focus: driving sustainable business growth and responsible leadership across the global workforce.

Stewardship Asia Centre Becomes Steward Leadership Institute

Steward Leadership Institute (SLI), formerly known as Stewardship Asia Centre (SAC), announced its new name on July 3, 2026. According to SLI's official announcement, the new name and refreshed visual identity reflect the organization's growth from a platform for convening conversations on stewardship to an institute that actively equips leaders to make decisions with purpose and create enduring value.

SLI dedicates itself to research, education, and advisory on enabling profitable growth by addressing environmental and social challenges. Its new wordmark places a diamond above the "I," which SLI says symbolizes individual ascent and its commitment to elevating leaders and the organizations they serve. SLI is a unit within the Temasek Trust ecosystem.

What stays the same
SLI has confirmed that all existing programs, frameworks, engagements, and client agreements remain unchanged. Its team and leadership are also unchanged, and all contacts and communications continue without interruption.

Slasify and SLI's Partnership Continues

Slasify signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the organization now known as SLI on November 7, 2025, at the China International Import Expo (CIIE). The agreement covers collaboration on steward leadership training and advisory initiatives.

In April 2026, Slasify became a Supporting Partner for Steward Leadership 25 (SL25), the annual award that recognizes 25 financially viable solutions creating measurable environmental or social impact across Asia-Pacific. As a Supporting Partner, Slasify helps identify organizations in its regional network whose initiatives align with steward leadership principles.

The rebrand does not change any of this. Slasify continues to work with SLI under the same MOU and in the same SL25 role.

Advancing Responsible Leadership in a Global Workforce

As businesses expand across borders, sustainable growth depends not only on where companies operate, but also on how they lead, hire, and manage their people. SLI equips leaders to make purpose-driven decisions. Slasify provides the global employment infrastructure that puts those decisions into practice in each country:

  • —Long-term thinking meets compliant hiring. Steward leadership asks leaders to create value that lasts. Slasify's Employer of Record (EOR) service lets companies hire in new markets under local employment rules without first setting up a local entity.
  • —Care for employees meets reliable pay. Employees are core stakeholders. Slasify Global Payroll helps companies pay international teams accurately and on time, supported by in-country experts.
  • —Consistent standards across markets. Responsible leaders apply the same standards everywhere they operate. Slasify's robust compliance frameworks help companies keep contracts, benefits, and onboarding consistent across countries.
  • —Principles turned into workforce plans. Slasify's advisors help organizations translate leadership principles into practical global workforce management, from market entry to team structure.
