Future Financial Innovation and Sustainable Growth In the 2020 letter to CEOs, Larry Fink, CEO of the world’s largest asset manager BlackRock, he forecasted that the climate change risk and ESG will be considered as key factors in investment decision-making. BlackRock is pursuing corporate sustainable development, by integrating ESG information analysis and evaluation into the investment process. ESG has emerged as the hottest topic in corporate management.
It became even more important to protect the environment and social safety net, after having experienced global COVID-19 crisis. Especially in recent years, ESG information disclosure, eco-friendly regulations including carbon reduction, stewardship codes etc. are becoming more and more intensified, and the Biden government of the US and the EU have announced to intensify ESG-related regulations in all process of the supply chain.
Under ESG management, it is now the right time seek for successful strategies, to overcome internal and external risks, create new values, and move forward to sustainable growth. For these reasons, with the theme of ‘Future Financial Innovation and Sustainable Growth’, The Asia Business Daily has invited global economic experts to jointly explore the ways to build the present and future of ESG.
