Governments and foundations are also publishing regulations, studies and statistics that further influence business and operational decisions. However, the ESG challenges we face now can also be a pivotal opportunity for businesses to leverage and be market leaders.
 
The new sustainability standards cross the realm of non-financial disclosures into financial disclosures, with frameworks such as the Taskforce for Climate-related Financial Disclosures and the upcoming standards by the International Sustainability Standards Board. Are we ready to embrace the meeting of financial and non-financial data and how can we best prepare ourselves to ride the upcoming wave of change?

Come join our industry information session, conducted in collaboration with CLA Global TS, where participants can learn more from specialists, network and share their experiences. 

In this session, we will cover:

• Trends and developments in ESG which affect businesses
  
• How is Singapore adapting to sustainability
  
• The common ground between financial and sustainability reporting
  
• What can businesses do to prepare
