ESG in Asia Pacific

The Asia-Pacific region covering a third of the Earth’s land area, is home to 60 percent of the global population, drives major supply chains and financial sectors. But its high population density and rapid urbanization also make it vulnerable to climate risks and social inequalities.

As ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) factors gain momentum, businesses face stricter regulations and rising expectations from investors. In the diverse economic and cultural landscape of the Asia-Pacific, a deep, sector-specific understanding is crucial for businesses to navigate regulatory compliance and unlock the value of ESG transformation.

Navigating this complex landscape requires sector-specific expertise, especially for companies expanding to the EU and US, where additional sustainability rules apply.

KPMG is your partner in turning ESG challenges into opportunities. With global expertise, data-driven solutions, and deep industry knowledge, we help you embed ESG at the core of your operations and create lasting value.

Transform ESG into a strategic advantage for a sustainable future.
