The New Value Creator for Capital Markets

Environmental, Social, & Governance (ESG) considerations have become mainstream in the financial sector. Global investors now look for investment tools and products that can provide respectable returns while benefiting society, while enterprises strive to improve their operation and business models to meet stakeholders’ high ESG expectations. This is not easy, but FinTech can definitely help. Cyberport FinTech for ESG Conference, a half-day online event organised by Hong Kong Cyberport, gathers heavyweight speakers from professional bodies, renowned financial institutions and the most promising start-ups in the field to examine how FinTech can promote ESG and create value. Topics to be discussed include ESG reporting and investment as well as emerging themes such as green metal trading in the GBA and ESG credit rating.
