Arthur Lam’s Synergy Group is leading the way towards a more sustainable future
“Let’s get out of here,” says Generation T honouree Arthur Lam the moment we meet him at the offices of Synergy Group, the energy management firm he co-founded in 2008. “Sometimes it’s good to get out.”
After a quick tour, Lam, dressed in a sharp blue suit accented with pristine white Adidas trainers—“I change them for client meetings,” he says with a smile—is out the door.
It’s perhaps not a surprise the 33-year-old fancies a change of scenery. Synergy’s North Point office, located in a nondescript industrial building, isn’t quite the slick, glitzy headquarters we’d expected from a company of Synergy’s stature.
In its decade of operation, Synergy Group has seen huge levels of growth, becoming one of Asia’s leading energy management contract providers—an organisation that helps clients lower their energy bills through solutions such as efficiency improvements and introducing renewable energy sources.
