Event Information

2023 remains a challenging year where companies are under pressure from macroeconomic factors and geopolitical tensions, which are largely beyond their control. The boards should stay vigilant of these trends and external pressures and be prepared to switch gears when necessary. To top it off, ESG remains as an ongoing relevant hot topic that will drive the boards’ agenda in upcoming years.

The webinar intends to highlight key discussions on what boards will need to prioritize and keep them updated on what is happening on the ESG front.

  • What are the top priorities for boards in 2023 and beyond? How are boards keeping pace and examining the business' performance and governance practices to position their organizations for sustainable future?
  • What impact will the geopolitical tensions have on the big issues facing society? How will the geopolitical competition have an impact on corporations and the region - positive challenges and opportunities?
  • Given that most companies are facing climate-related risks and opportunities and are making strategic decisions in response, what are the key considerations regarding climate-related risks? How does the process of decarbonization impact businesses? Thus, how has ESG reporting evolved?
