Join us this Thursday @2:00 PM | Asia in Focus: ESG Investing and the Business and Human rights in Asia

In recent years, ESG investing has emerged as a key factor in ensuring corporate sustainability and progress towards the SDGs. In our new report and webcast, Asia in Focus: ESG Investing and the Business and Human Rights Agenda, we explore how active investing, ESG-driven lending, and green bond issuance might be better leveraged to reach environmental and human rights goals.

In the upcoming episode, we ask key questions:  

1.Can ESG investing push the sustainable development agenda in Asia? What progress is being made in countries like Malaysia? 

2. What role do mandatory disclosures on ESG, human rights due diligence, and active investment strategies play?  

3. How big a problem is greenwashing in Asia and what role do criminal and civil penalties play? 

4. What’s needed to bring Asian small and medium enterprises into the fold? 

Join us for lively discussions, shot on location in Malaysia, with:
