Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) has slowly crept up into the radar of many organizations. However, the roles and responsibilities are often unclear and the collection of data overwhelming. We often hear the cry that no two treasury teams are the same, and it can equally apply to the management of ESG risks. Will upcoming sustainable regulatory and political change result in clearer and globalized standards? 

In partnership with the Association of Corporate Treasurers Singapore (ACTS), we bring together some  experts to discuss the basics of ESG and challenges faced by corporate treasurers when collecting, managing, and reporting ESG-related data. We will also be sharing insights on how to look at the data from a number of different lenses.

Main topics to be discussed

• How are ESG responsibilities managed across various organizations in Asia Pacific?
• What are some of the key challenges in collecting financial and non-financial ESG data?
• How do you measure your carbon footprint?
• What are the benefits of good ESG data management?
• Global ESG reporting and benchmark landscape
