AGENDA SETTING
Staying Human in the Age of AI
The ultimate goal of sustainable development is to enhance human wellbeing. As the era of human-machine coexistence rapidly approaches, how can the business world put people at the center of its efforts to better care for employees, serve customers, and promote the prosperity of the communities where they live? How can technology be made to serve people, rather than take over their lives?
Weathering Headwinds: The Evolution of ESG
Not everyone is convinced by the rise of ESG. Critics have attacked measures from some of the world’s most prominent ratings agencies for being vague, obscure, and poorly-defined - and so do not track the true social performance of a company. How are ESG advocates responding to these arguments? Those in the field explain how that they are tweaking and improving their standards in pursuit of accuracy and transparency.
Moral Money: Sustainable Investment in Action
ESG isn’t an exercise in philanthropy: Investors believe that backing companies that pay attention to sustainability is a better strategy than backing companies that ignore it. But with the boom in ESG and sustainability funds, is it still the case that ESG investing can win you a higher return? Those in the field explain the challenges they face in finding quality investment targets, and how to balance between environmental, social, and governance factors in making an investment.

20 Years On: Let Who Cares Win
The term ESG first appeared in a United Nations Global Compact white paper, titled “Who Cares Wins,” in 2004. ESG has since become a new lodestar for the business world. But the next 20 years is when decision-makers, investors, and business leaders will work together to let those who care truly win, help ESG practitioners realise long-term returns, and and bring a more sustainable and inclusive growth to a wider population.

Sustainable Cities: Inclusive, Safe, Smart
Cities can pay attention to ESG metrics too. How can cities follow the lead of corporates in making urban life more environmentally friendly, inclusive, and smart?
Can finance solve the biodiversity crisis?
We aren’t paying enough attention to biodiversity. Threats to our ecosystem present tangible risks to both human health and business operations, yet organizations are not investing the time and money to properly measure and tackle the problem. How can we better value biodiversity? Experts in protecting and fostering a well-functioning ecosystem explore how we can design innovative financial instruments to better share the costs and benefits of animal protection.
Sustainable Growth Driven by Frontier Innovations
What are the most promising technological progresses made in areas such as alternative clean energy, new materials, artificial intelligence, sustainable agriculture, carbon capture and storage? How can investors ensure that the innovations they are supporting are beneficial for the environment and society?
Supply Chains:Green, Resilient and Responsible
The volatile disruptions of the past few years show the importance of having a safe, resilient and agile supply chains. Large companies, as perhaps the most important players in today’s supply chains, have a key role to play in encouraging ESG practices in both their upstream and downstream partners. How can China’s companies best use their leverage to build a safe, resilient and responsible supply chain?

Energy Transition at the Tipping Point
The Russia-Ukraine conflict radically changed how we talk about the energy transition. Now, countries and companies are realizing that we may be relying on carbon for longer than we might have hoped. Yet extreme weather events in recent years are a pressing reminder of the need to decarbonize. How are companies rethinking the energy transition and resetting their net zero goals in the wake of these changes? And how far long is China in achieving its 2030/2060 targets?
Making an Impact by Bridging the Funding Gap for SMEs
Charles Li, fresh from his tenure as the CEO of Hong Kong’s stock exchange, has a bold idea: What if, rather than investing in a large public company, you can invest in a Chinese SME instead? His new platform, Micro Connect, has now raised over $450 million in Series C funding as it tries to help China’s small businesses get better access to global capital. Li explains how his platform can contribute to China’s social good by making impact investment more efficient and effective.
Unfinished Business: Building an Equal Office
China’s population crisis can be an opportunity to push for gender equality in the workplace. With a declining population, Chinese companies can’t afford to stop their female employees from reaching their full potential. And gender equality isn’t just important for its own sake: Companies can implement policies to give their employees the safety and security needed in their decision to start a family.
