Our Story

In the bustling, ever-evolving cities of
Kuala Lumpur and Singapore,

the Teng family’s journey into impact investing began with a deep-seated commitment to their heritage and a vision for a sustainable future.

 

Stemming from generations of successful entrepreneurs, the Teng’s harnessed their business acumen to establish a family office that would not only yield financial returns but also drive positive environmental and social change across Southeast Asia.

 

Inspired by the rich biodiversity of Malaysia’s rainforests and the innovative spirit of Singapore’s urban landscape, they launched initiatives focusing on energy technology, food and agriculture, circularity, and social equity.


This heritage enabled them to blend traditional values with modern strategies – birthing TerraSys Group and positioning them as a beacon of ethical investment and advisory in the region, dedicated to nurturing a thriving, equitable society while preserving the natural world for future generations.

The 
challenge

The world stands at a critical juncture,
facing urgent challenges encapsulated
by the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs),

which demand immediate and coordinated action. These 17 goals, ranging from eradicating poverty to combating climate change, highlight the intricate inter-connectedness of global issues, where progress in one area catalyzes advances in another.

The momentum building around these goals reflects a collective realization that our efforts today shape the world for future generations, presenting a unique opportunity to foster a sustainable, equitable planet.

Tackling the comprehensive and wide-ranging UN SDGs will require an array of innovative, multi-faceted solutions that harness the power of technology, collaboration, and sustainable practices.

  • Central to these efforts is the integration of renewable energy sources, promoting a shift towards a low-carbon economy, and addressing climate change.

  • Equally important are advancements in education and healthcare, ensuring inclusive, quality services that empower individuals and communities.

  • Public-private partnerships will be crucial, leveraging the strengths of diverse sectors to drive scalable impact.

  • Additionally, fostering social equity through inclusive economic growth and gender equality will be vital. 

As nations, businesses, and communities rally together, the Terrasys ethos encapsulates a profound sense of generational duty and potential, emphasizing that the actions we take now will reverberate through time, creating a legacy of resilience, prosperity, and harmony for all.

the story of
our name

"Terrasys"

ter·ra /ˈterə/ [noun, latin] planet earth
sys /ˈsis/ [noun, greek] systems together

Naturally, with the practice of sustainability comes the understanding of integrated earth systems, or terra-sys.

Terrasys is also phonetically similar to Terraces, evoking the sublime rice terraces of Southeast Asia where abundant grains are cultivated to nourish the global population. These terraces served as the backdrop to the Teng family’s shared experience living and working in the agri-tech sector of Asia since the early 20th century.
