relatively rare, serve as reminders of what is at stake when communication breaks down or governance is left to chance. FBN Asia takes quiet pride in the belief that, for its members, exposure to other families’ experiences and mistakes reduces the risk of those stories repeating. LEGACY, SUSTAINABILITY AND IMPACT While succession and governance are core themes, FBN Asia is equally passionate about the positive potential of family enterprises. Across Asia, an estimated 80 percent of GDP is driven by family businesses. Many of these organisations are longterm owners with deep local roots, significant resources, and the freedom – particularly when not publicly listed – to think beyond quarterly results. FBN Asia is actively encouraging families to see themselves not only as wealth stewards but also as impact stewards. That includes reconsidering their operating businesses through the lens of sustainability and ESG, and exploring impact investing, philanthropy, and foundation-building as part of their legacy planning. 77 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 12 FAMILY BUSINESS NETWORK ASIA
