Dear SWA Members & Partners,

Co-hosting with Platinum Circle for the third time, Singapore Water Association is pleased to bring to you this insightful webinar on “State of ESG Investing” at your convenience.

The Paris Climate Agreement has spurred the growth of public sector initiatives by OECD, G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group, UN as well as the private sector’s adoption of climate-aligned approaches over the past decade. Socially responsible investment philosophies have evolved into a distinct form of responsible investing.

Today, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing continues to gain traction with investors seeking alignment with net zero outcomes, UN SDGs and long term value. Despite efforts to achieve positive ESG investing outcomes, much remains to be done with tools, and methods for communicating and evaluating ESG values, investment and nonfinancial objectives, preferences, mandates, and frames.

Where are we at in the progress of ESG investing in Singapore and how can we improve the frameworks that support reporting, evaluation, and measurable outcomes?

Join us in this webinar, as our panel of experts from Manulife Investment Management, Kilara Capital, and Golden Equator share their insight into the state of ESG investing including real-time challenges and opportunities for Singapore businesses. government organizations and industry players.
