2023 Trends Webinar: APAC Perspectives

About the webinar Hide

In 2022, global and local corporations were deeply affected by the war in Ukraine, its market impacts, and wider economic headwinds. This has forced the private sector to decide whether to fall back on fundamentals and lessen corporate sustainability efforts or whether ESG efforts should be maintained.

In this webinar for our 2023 Trends Report 'The Ongoing Evolution of Sustainable Business,' ERM experts will expand on the trends shaping corporate sustainability within Asia-Pacific and provide insight into where corporate sustainability is likely to go next in light of them.

Andrew Angle, Senior Research Associate, The SustainAbility Institute by ERM and lead author of this year's trends report, will briefly summarize the report at the start of the webinar, then Aiste Brackley, Associate Director, The SustainAbility Institute by ERM will facilitate a discussion with our four expert panelists from across the Asia-Pacific region.
