With the climate problem and the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a surge in interest in ESG in recent years. ESG has evolved into a mainstream investing strategy and a priority among the world's leading business actors. As a result, BPCC held a seminar to enhance students' awareness in the area and prepare them to compete in ESG-related case competitions.
Dr Yip, a seasoned banking & finance professional with more than 8 years of ESG reporting consultancy experience, discussed the ESG trend in business imbued with real-life examples. The event provided students with an overview of the ESG industry including various terms and theories developed by world-renowned researchers and was much appreciated by attendees.
