Despite the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, sustainability and ESG (environmental, social and governance) principles continue to embed themselves in the DNA of companies operating in the Asia-Pacific region. Whether it is focusing on gender diversity or the reduction of carbon emissions, companies more than ever are looking to become leaders in sustainability.

Over the past several months, the team at Asset Benchmark Research has been closely analyzing and evaluating the ESG credentials of listed companies in the region.

For more than two decades, The Asset has tracked corporate excellence in the Asia-Pacific region and has elevated its focus on ESG. Today, at the ESG Corporate Awards 2021 virtual event, we honour those companies that have defined excellence in ESG.

We are, therefore, pleased to invite you to view this year’s awards ceremony as we highlight and discuss why these companies stood out for their focus on sustainability.
