Details :

The rapid growth of ESG does not only tackle the significant environmental issue, but social issues and governance issues regarding corruption, labour, and human rights as well. ESG reporting is an effective way to prevent the arising of potential risks associated with corporate business activities, while the encouragement of business transparency builds a trustful relationship between consumers and the company. The speaker will introduce to you the importance of regulatory updates in ESG reporting by providing various reporting frameworks from HKEX and TCFD as example case studies from the real estate sector. He will also explain how ESG has made positive contributions toward the real estate sector across the globe and the strategies for strengthening ESG reporting.
