Join us at our upcoming APAC ESG webinar, jointly hosted by PwC's insurance teams across Asia Pacific. The first half of the webinar will involve a sharing by PwC Singapore on a thought leadership piece that summarises key insights from the APAC ESG survey, and will also feature a sharing by our guest speaker from Taiwan on Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and Net Zero Sustainable Investment. Subsequently, the webinar will take the form of a panel discussion, featuring distinguished guest speakers from the insurance industry across APAC. In this webinar, we will delve deeper into the profound impacts that ESG has on the insurance landscape and explore the intricacies of decarbonisation and carbon footprints.
The insurance industry has always been a leader in understanding and securing risks, and the sector is quickly realising the emerging risks of not embedding ESG into their core operations. In recent years, ESG has seen a rise in popularity and has established itself as a hot topic, resulting in paradigm shifts to the insurance landscape. In particular, ESG has been gaining traction in the region, with APAC establishing a considerable presence in the realm of ESG and sustainability.
The ESG agenda has become an increasing priority for the financial services sector including insurers. With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, insurers have started to prioritise their ESG strategy and corporate stewardship. For insurers, this would include integrating ESG within their core business and operations, as part of underwriting, investing and risk management decisions, and developing tailored ESG products and services.
We encourage you to attend this content-rich webinar series. Our panellists will be discussing on topics related to decarbonisation, including goal setting and integrating carbon reduction efforts into your overall strategy.
