SC Jeil Bank to Host Webinar Introducing ESG Investment on the 15th... Open to All Applicants
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] Standard Chartered First Bank is hosting a webinar on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investment, a topic that has become increasingly important due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
Standard Chartered First Bank announced on the 12th that it will hold a wealth care webinar in a non-face-to-face Ontact format at 8 p.m. on the 15th.
ESG investment refers to a method of identifying and investing in companies that effectively implement ESG factors?environmental, social, and governance aspects?which have recently emerged as key elements of sustainable management, in addition to financial aspects, as part of corporate value evaluation. ESG investment has recently gained significant attention from investors as a way to practice 'positive influence.'
Since last year, the bank has been actively introducing the importance and effects of ESG investment to its asset management clients. Following the introduction of the ESG-related sustainable investment philosophy of its parent company, Standard Chartered (SC) Group, at last year's investment theme seminar, the bank has continuously conveyed global interest and investment trends in ESG companies through regularly published market outlook reports and various related videos.
This seminar will be held jointly with the youth climate change organization ‘GEYK.’ It will discuss how the millennial generation can practice ‘sustainability’ in investment, along with one of ESG’s core concerns, ‘climate change.’
Bill Winters, Chairman of SC Group, who experienced about a month of work in Korea last month, will give the opening remarks at the seminar and briefly introduce SC Group’s ESG investment philosophy and vision to Korean customers.
