The Decade of Impact on Asia's ESG Playbook
4:30pm
Socially conscious investing has gained momentum in 2020 as COVID-19 has sparked interest in stakeholder capitalism.
Investors are calling it the 21st century’s first “sustainability” crisis that has renewed the focus on climate change,
and a more sustainable approach to investment. The ESG market is expected to reach $45 trillion in AUM in 2020 and over
the past year, assets in ESG ETFs have more than doubled to $80 billion. But are we seeing sufficient traction in Asia?
Join Mark Konyn, Fiona Reynolds and Chong Jiun Yeh as they assess how COVID-19 is affecting investor thinking about ESG, what the
challenges of implementation are in Europe versus Asia, and what the Asia ESG investing playbook may look like.
