Asia Summit 2022

ESG in the Asia-Pacific and Why it Matters (Invite only)

-

Assessing environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk factors in Asia Pacific (APAC) markets has been an important component in mobilizing the allocation of capital towards sustainable finance opportunities. With the sustainable finance movement growing globally, market leaders in APAC must enhance their investment frameworks and commitments to keep up with increasing investor demand. This session will explore concrete examples of the progress being made by the private sector on integrating ESG factors into investment decisions across APAC markets. Participants will share how their firms have approached mobilizing capital, where they plan to focus their attention in the coming months, and where they see the greatest opportunities moving forward.
