Sustainability Reporting in ASEAN and Singapore, 22 Nov, Singapore

 

Poster SustainabilityReporting

ASEAN CSR Network (ACN) and the Centre for Governance, Institutions and Organisations (CGIO) are organising a forum on Sustainability Reporting in ASEAN and Singapore - Opportunities in an Era of Tensions at the SGX auditorium on Thursday, 22 November 2018. The morning event features a presentation on the state of sustainability reporting (SR) in ASEAN and Singapore, as well as a panel discussion comprising thought leaders and industry experts.

The forum is timely as SR is an emerging trend not only in Singapore but also in the ASEAN region. With the ongoing China-US trade war, the global spotlight has turned to ASEAN as possible trading partners to counteract the worsening situation. This is certainly cause for optimism amidst the doom and gloom.

However, the desire for closer economic partnerships and investments carries conditions for greater economic, environmental, social and governance disclosures from companies in the region to mitigate the emerging trade tensions. Therefore, the regular financial reporting by companies has to be augmented with SR to attract investments. In this sense, SR exceeds satisfying regulatory requirements by helping businesses to stay relevant and seize opportunities in the new economy.

Please join us at this forum where we have put together a distinguished panel of speakers to share their insights and expertise on this important issue.
