It seeks to provide participants with actionable insights to redefine value, decarbonize portfolios, and future-proof investment strategies.

Key Activities

Across two days, the agenda includes keynote sessions, thematic panels, and interactive working groups covering topics such as ESG’s link to ROI, sustainable supply chains, evolving ESG regulations, and the role of private debt and real estate in responsible investment. The forum also highlights initiatives like the EDCI in Asia and provides a platform for case studies, networking, and invite-only sessions that connect asset owners, fund managers, and sustainability leaders.

Significance

It underscores the urgency of aligning portfolios with climate ambitions, managing regulatory complexity across jurisdictions, and capturing opportunities in sustainable supply chains. By convening global leaders in Singapore, the event reinforces Asia’s growing influence in responsible investment and its alignment with international standards.
