Positive Impact Day Singapore 2025
How are evolving ESG policies reshaping investment pathways in Asia? How can investors capitalise on the growth in AI, digitalisation and new energy needs, while aligning with ESG commitments? And what are the key drivers to scale carbon capture and storage in Asia?
Societe Generale is pleased to host the Singapore edition of our Positive Impact Day conference series, where we will be exploring these questions in more detail. In this fast-changing ESG landscape, we have brought together industry leaders, public officials, and investors to speak on the challenges and opportunities in transitioning to a more resilient and sustainable future.
