This year’s edition of Barclays Asia Forum takes place across a series of five virtual events with five distinct theme focusing on the theme of Trade, Markets, Technology and Purpose Incorporated.

Sustainability: From cause to practice
Date: Thursday, 16 December 2021

Businesses, investors and governments will all face increasing pressure to go beyond lip service and factor environmental and social concerns into the deepest levels of strategy and planning. How can businesses and investors approach this transition in a way that delivers genuine impact, and balance commitments to stakeholders with at times competing interests?
