The Asset breaks new ground with the launch of dedicated ESG Forum
ESG-dedicated financial website, esg.theasset.com, launched on the second anniversary of Paris Climate Agreement
The Asset 15 Dec 2017

The Asset is proud to announce the launch of one of Asia’s first ESG-dedicated financial websites. The Asset ESG Forum is the newest digital platform for the exchange of ideas, insights and inspiration that drive sustainability in businesses in Asia.

The Asset launches the Forum on the second anniversary of the Paris Climate Agreement – a political and diplomatic triumph in which 174 countries came together to agree to keep global temperatures well below a two degrees Celsius rise above pre-industrial levels.

Daniel Yu, The Asset editor-in-chief, introduced the ESG Forum before corporate executives and investors at last night’s The Asset Corporate Awards 2017, where Asia’s best companies were honoured for their achievements in ESG.

“Technology is already reshaping industries across the globe and one study suggests it could lead to 1.3 billion people becoming unemployed as a result. Efforts to focus on ESG will grow in importance,” says Yu.

“I look forward to collaborating with you to build out The Asset ESG Forum,” he adds.

The Forum gives ESG-focused professionals an easy-to-use, readily available source of news and information on ESG. The ESG resource centre will focus on Green Finance, ESG Investing, Green Regulations and Corporate Sustainability (Understanding ESG).

It will have the latest industry news, features and technical articles, as well as stories showcasing trends, people and events on ESG in the region.

The launch of the ESG Forum is one of The Asset’s many pioneering efforts, and is part of its long-running tradition of leadership in the financial media sector.

The Asset runs Asia’s premier and longest-running ESG awards. For nearly two decades, Asset Benchmark Research has been providing benchmarking service for corporates on sustainability. Its other awards, including The Asset Triple A Regional and Deal Awards, are the region’s preeminent recognition for excellence in the finance sector by corporates and banks.

ESG.TheAsset.com is a recent first among many other digital innovations The Asset aims to introduce this year. With the new platform, The Asset hopes to inspire corporate engagement in ESG and further the conversation around corporate sustainability in Asia.
