Date

(MENAFN- media OutReach Limited) A virtual week discussing how organisations can optimise their ESG performance.
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 7 February 2022 - online and in-person, February
14th-17th 2022 - Policymakers, businesses and thought leaders from major corporations
will congregate online and at exclusive in-person sessions at Economist
Impact's Sustainability Week Asia from February 14th to
17th 2022.
Asia
is experiencing a surprisingly strong economic rebound following the global pandemic
but the risk of new outbreaks, combined with production bottlenecks and
weakened institutions, remains. Asia-Pacific's experience in dealing with
disruptions and shocks shows that focusing on economic growth alone could
increase exposure to rising inequality and environmental damage.
Economist
Impact's virtual event provides a high-level meeting place for more than 2,000
policymakers, businesses and thought leaders to discuss how organisations can
effectively translate goals into business strategy and policy innovation, to
create a sustainable future.
