OVERVIEW

Sustainable and Responsible Investment (SRI) is an important global agenda to help alleviate real issues affecting society mainly poverty eradication, access to education and healthcare, and climate change. The pandemic has shown that our world faces common challenges and reinforces the idea that global challenges require common, global solutions to save our planet, to build a fairer and more secure world that can ensure prosperity.

It’s the right thing to do and the Malaysian capital market can play a critical role to promote business development ideas and agendas that support green, social and sustainable investments toward stocks and funds that are both profitable and reflective of the strategic values of sustainable development goals (SDG) for all stakeholders.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this conference is to help business leaders and policy makers recognise the challenges and opportunities posed by unprecedented changes in global market developments and work together in responding to them not just in terms of corporate profits and purpose, but more importantly now how businesses could make a positive long-term impact on the society and the environment.

The programme will focus on capital market business developments relating to the SC Malaysia’s five-year roadmap that comprises five overarching strategies. Known as 5i-Strategy, it includes widening the range of SRI instruments, increasing the SRI investor base, building a strong SRI issuer base, instilling a strong internal governance culture and designing information architecture in the SRI ecosystem.

By the end of this programme, participants will be able to:

  • Discuss SRI initiatives in Malaysian capital market
  • Analyse the differences between SDG, ESG, SRI, and Impact Investing
  • Review the investment styles and what new age investors want
