It is our pleasure to extend an exclusive invitation for you to register and join us as an esteemed guest at KPMG’s Asia Pacific (ASPAC) Board Leadership Centre webinar titled “Navigating climate transition risks in a circular economy”.

Circular economy model is gaining significant momentum globally, driven by various factors such as climate change, resource depletion, and pollution. At the same time, as the impacts of climate change become more pronounced, businesses and governments are recognizing the importance of understanding and mitigating climate-related risks. Circular economy provides a framework for operating sustainably and reducing environmental impact while climate risk assessments help businesses understand and prepare for the impacts of climate change. By identifying the synergies between circularity and climate change mitigation, forward-thinking ASPAC businesses can not only mitigate risks but also capitalize on opportunities for cost savings, innovation, and competitive differentiation, all of which contribute to long-term profitability and resilience.

Join us at this exclusive Asia Pacific Board Leadership Centre Webinar as we explore the fundamentals of climate risk assessment with a focus on understanding both physical and transitional climate risks and opportunities, as well as the principles of a circular economy and the benefits that this could bring. Our distinguished business leaders and subject matter experts will share their thoughts and perspectives in the adoption of different practices across industries and sectors..
