In an increasingly connected world, the risk and opportunity landscape for corporates across sectors has been evolving dramatically. Over the past two decades, technological disruptions and disasters of unprecedented scale have influenced the way stakeholders evaluate the resilience and sustainability of businesses. The current approach looks far beyond the traditional financial metrics to gain a holistic understanding of the value a company can create over time. Given the current context of rising social inequalities, a health crisis of unprecedented scale, mounting economic knock-on effects, global climate crisis and the acceleration of environmental degradation, the performance of companies on ESG metrics has emerged as a critical evaluation parameter.

 

While the private sector has a significant role to play, it is an even greater imperative for governments globally to create a fostering regulatory environment to develop ESG Goals. Sustainability and green development are priority areas and are expected to enable a steady pick-up in green financing, despite headwinds like global uncertainty and capital moving out of the economy.

 

In this context, with the theme ‘Putting ESG into Practice & Measuring its Impact’, ASSOCHAM is hosting its flagship event the ‘Global ESG Conclave’ on 26th July 2023 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. 

 

The Conclave will feature thought leaders across the industry and government, facilitating discussion and debate, wherein stakeholders share views on emerging E, S and G transformation practices. This initiative will bring together diverse voices representing policymakers, investors, rating agencies, global think tanks, business owners, and business leaders to deliberate on pertinent subject issues, acknowledge best practices adopted regarding ESG and influence change.
