In a private roundtable at the Milken Institute Asia Summit 2022 in Singapore, the Milken Institute gathered leading technologists, chief sustainability officers, large investors, and financial regulators for off-the-record discussions on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues in the Asia Pacific region (APAC). Participants spoke candidly about their hopes for ESG data moving forward, Scope 3 measurements, collaboration, and the need to commit to technological innovation.
The session was moderated by Caitlin MacLean, senior director of innovative finance at the Milken Institute. Through these convenings and research on ESG, the Institute hopes to help smooth and support the catalytic role of finance and technology in shifting businesses, regulators, and societies toward a more sustainable future.
