Event</h2><div class="content-grid-container w-richtext"><p>Rebuilding our economies in a post-Covid-19 era has never been more urgent.</p><p>All around the world, countries are still facing social and economic fallout from the global pandemic. The International Monetary Fund estimates that global GDP shrank an unprecedented 3.3 per cent in 2020 — the world’s worst recession since the Great Depression.</p><p>Yet, vaccination rollouts and new responses are providing glimmers of hope. The IMF is now predicting a stronger recovery with growth projected to be 6 per cent in 2021. </p><p>Daunting challenges remain, however. Recoveries are diverging across and within countries — particularly in the Asia Pacific region — creating large gaps in living standards, vaccination programmes and government support. </p><p>Against this backdrop, the role of finance in this recovery has come sharply into focus, with a growing chorus of stakeholders demanding sustainable recovery investments. In 2020, ESG investments more than doubled — with investors pouring in a record US$51 billion.</p><p>While a positive sign, the lack of global standards on ESG funds and sustainable finance instruments has attracted widespread criticism of greenwashing. How can the financial sector adequately respond to these global concerns? What is the role of finance in the green recovery in Asia Pacific, and how can public and private sectors collaborate to scale credible ESG investments?</p><p>This September 16, we will convene leading minds from government, financial institutions and civic society around the world for this important conversation.</p><p>‍</p><h3><em>Watch the forum's proceedings </em><a

public health systems, social safety nets and supply chains — exacerbating inequality, particularly in poorer nations. As with climate change, governments have led the charge on pandemic responses and stimulus measures. </p><p>However, rebuilding the economy will also require private sector capital. Sustainable finance has emerged as a key instrument through which investors can support a recovery that will address the effects of the pandemic while transitioning to a low carbon economy that is aligned with the growing number of net zero pledges by countries under the Paris Agreement. What is needed to ensure that capital is adequately allocated to a sustainable recovery? What are the most effective mechanisms, and where are the green finance opportunities in Asia?</p></div><div id="w-node-e8de434e-db5b-d129-a9df-c356e577888a-c6ebede6" class="w-dyn-list"><div

regulators, business leaders and investors as being material to a company’s operations and bottom line. Amid rising stakeholder pressure for sustainability performance, business leaders are grappling with how to integrate ESG principles into business strategy to mitigate risks as well as uncover new opportunities. </p><p>But what are the key ingredients in developing and implementing a strategic ESG roadmap and framework? In this session, we discuss how companies are integrating ESG metrics into their core business by examining the cornerstones to a solid strategy: corporate governance, risk management, target-setting, effective disclosure and assurance standards. How can companies align their objectives with ESG values to tap opportunities in sustainability-linked indices and capital? Our expert panel will unpack the challenges around devising an ESG strategy for improved business performance. </p></div><div id="w-node-e8de434e-db5b-d129-a9df-c356e577888a-c6ebede6" class="w-dyn-list"><div role="list" class="w-dyn-items"><div role="listitem" class="w-dyn-item"><div class="div-block-66"><div style="background-image:url("https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5cb6a396e13945f2ca46a56f/612cab66834f855bf9e49007_razzouk-assaad-speaker.original.jpg")" class="speaker-image"></div><div><h4 class="heading-3">Assaad Razzouk</h4><p class="block-date-sm">Group Chief Executive, Sindicatum Sustainable Resources</p></div></div></div><div role="listitem" class="w-dyn-item"><div class="div-block-66"><div style="background-image:url("https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5cb6a396e13945f2ca46a56f/60ee46e036ecf074b9e7fa68_Snip20210714_58.jpg")" class="speaker-image"></div><div><h4 class="heading-3">Elena Philipova</h4><p class="block-date-sm">Elena Philipova, Director of Sustainable Finance, Refinitiv</p></div></div></div><div role="listitem" class="w-dyn-item"><div class="div-block-66"><div style="background-image:url("https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5cb6a396e13945f2ca46a56f/61147d32fc746702e21cf469_speaker_1598336403.jpg")" class="speaker-image"></div><div><h4 class="heading-3">Perpetua George</h4><p class="block-date-sm">General Manager for Group Sustainability, Wilmar International</p></div></div></div><div role="listitem" class="w-dyn-item"><div class="div-block-66"><div style="background-image:url("https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5cb6a396e13945f2ca46a56f/611de234cc9e5b426ea70559_mattios-gerry-1_1.jpg")" class="speaker-image"></div><div><h4 class="heading-3">Gerry Mattios</h4><p class="block-date-sm">Partner, Bain & Company, Singapore</p></div></div></div><div role="listitem" class="w-dyn-item"><div class="div-block-66"><div style="background-image:url("https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/5cb6a396e13945f2ca46a56f/6253d440553dfc38020bbffd_Gillian%20Parker.jpg")" class="speaker-image"></div><div><h4 class="heading-3">Gillian Parker</h4><p class="block-date-sm">Deputy Editor, Eco-Business</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="div-block-65-copy-copy w-condition-invisible"><div id="w-node-e849a150-5232-30d8-0444-b4fd62012c89-c6ebede6"><h4 class="heading-3">Moderator</h4><div id="w-node-bd14789b-65fc-e7fb-8294-89009999fded-c6ebede6" class="div-block-66"><div id="w-node-c5b9c7bb-d5b9-7332-19c4-a241698f2529-c6ebede6" style="background-image:none" class="speaker-image"></div><div id="w-node-_46696714-a7dd-7463-5718-87029ce701ff-c6ebede6"><h4 class="heading-3 w-dyn-bind-empty"></h4><p class="block-date-sm w-dyn-bind-empty"></p></div></div></div></div></div><div role="listitem" class="collection-item-5 w-dyn-item"><div class="event-link-block-secondary"><div class="div-block-65-copy"><div id="w-node-f04a61db-8890-de59-6d0b-7d96a9861d53-c6ebede6" class="div-block-67"><h3 class="heading-3">3:00 pm</h3><div class="div-block-68 w-condition-invisible"></div></div><div id="w-node-dfccd3a0-97b0-5a6b-7fb9-6138f6e16d70-c6ebede6" class="div-block-67"><h3 class="heading-3">Plenary #3 - The future of ESG investing</h3></div><div id="w-node-_2f2c091f-7663-f9b7-1b6b-8a4374c83bc9-c6ebede6" class="w-richtext"><p>Global ESG assets are on track to exceed US$53 trillion by 2025 according to Bloomberg Intelligence, representing more than a third of the US$140 trillion in projected total assets under management. As major economies such as the US, EU and China deploy their green recovery plans post Covid-19, ESG investments have emerged as a powerful vehicle that can support a sustainable economy, particularly with a new wave of younger investors inheriting a massive amount of wealth and who are more attuned to impact investing.</p><p>In the aftermath of the global pandemic, there is greater urgency to identify and finance solutions, from access to healthcare, education and affordable housing to sustainable food supply chains. From institutional investors to individuals, the opportunity to make a positive impact with capital has never been more attractive, but how will returns be balanced with impact?
