Building a Sustainable Future for Financial Organisations with ESG
OVERVIEW
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) is expected to shape business over the next decade, driving it under the spotlight of today’s agenda in financial services. Banks and other financial institutions are now adjusting their strategies and practices to have more positive ESG outcomes.
However, whilst ESG provides a lot of opportunities, it also creates additional complexities for financial services firms, posing risks and impacts on an organisation's P&L and liquidity.
Gathering the best in financial services, join Elisha Harrington, Senior Director for Innovation in APJ in a thought-provoking discussion of ESG in financial services, the opportunities and challenges of sustainable finance, and provide insight on what factors dictate success in setting up effective ESG risk management in financial institutions.
Join us in this virtual roundtable as we discuss how banks and insurers can integrate ESG into their operations and manage the complexities and risks that it entails.
