Socially responsible investment (SRI) is the practice of integrating environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and corporate governance (ESG) considerations into the investment process. It is not only a means of risk mitigation for financial institutions, but also a powerful lever for shifting to a more sustainable global economy.

This event is an invite-only, half-day roundtable designed to encourage experience sharing, inspire innovation, and facilitate networking and collaboration among leading Asian thought leaders in SRI.

The roundtable will cover two main topics:

  • Market infrastructure and preparedness in Asian countries to support the the growth of SRI
  • Market products and practices, including eco-funds, green funds, biodiversity funds, and SRI funds

Join us in Beijing for this interactive roundtable, where you can meet representatives from the public and private sectors and gain insight into the latest developments in SRI in Asia.

A full agenda and list of speakers is available here.
