As the battle to contain Covid-19 in the Asia-Pacific enters another year, the scars of this health emergency on lives and livelihoods have become the painful reminders of the urgency to do better. Yet, there is a silver lining to this pandemic: conversations on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues have become far more widespread than ever.

The pandemic has thrown into sharp relief workplace and safety issues. Beyond the work-from-home considerations, however, companies are also becoming increasingly aware that they do not operate in a vacuum but as part of a broader ecosystem. Their responsibilities include internal arrangements with employees but also externally such as in maintaining a sustainable supply chain.

The Asset Events+, Asia-Pacific’s leading ESG forum, is delighted to be organizing the 4th ESG Summit. With the theme of Rising Expectations, this year’s The Asset 4th ESG Summit brings together in a series of virtual conversations with the ESG thought leaders of the top companies, investors and financial institutions to share their insights on their ESG journey.
