Modernising corporate and governmental ESG credentials

The response to Covid-19 has energised efforts for not just green policy changes but also a focus on social inclusion in corporate and governmental programmes. Gill Meller, the legal and governance director for the majority state-owned MTR Corporation, and Michael Camerlengo, who leads KPMG’s government practice in the Asia Pacific region and the infrastructure sector in Hong Kong, joins OMFIF’s Ellie Groves. They discuss the importance of good governance and the challenges and rewards of implementing an environmental, social and governance investment framework. Key questions around this topic include how corporates can integrate ESG in their core ethos, how governments can support modernisation efforts and what the future holds for ESG investing in Asia Pacific.
