Financial insight and training from Euromoney and Euromoney Learning.

Sustainability is a People agenda. We all understand why sustainability is important, but many of us aren’t clear on how we can contribute meaningfully. Yet, engaged employees expect their leaders to act on sustainability, and almost a quarter  of individuals have considered leaving their roles to work for a more sustainable company.  

The sustainable transitions we need to see can only be achieved at the pace we need through cultivating a culture of sustainability that is embedded throughout organisations and across value chains. Developing People strategies that integrate a sustainability agenda are a key enabler for realising the impact we need to see at scale.

With COP29  underway, in this timely webinar, Natalie Ainsworth, founder of Virescent Learning, will translate what sustainability means for HR and Talent functions in the pivotal role they play as strategic partners to the organisation, culture enablers, and change  implementers. She will share how you can begin to navigate sustainability and shift it from an isolated strategy to a core component of how your employees think, feel, and act. 

Key Takeaways
- Become clear on what sustainability and ESG mean in the context of HR.
- Understand the business case for, and importance of, embedding sustainability within People agendas.
- Learn how your People strategy can become a key enabler of your organisation’s sustainability strategy.
- Equip yourselves with the know-how to act on sustainability in your People strategy and day-to-day role, and how to enable everyone in your organisation to do so too. 
- Have an opportunity to ask your questions live.


This webinar will be relevant for anyone working within a HR and Talent context, as sustainability is fundamental to everyone’s role – no matter their position within an organisation.

Innovate or Stagnate: Top 5 Generative AI Use Cases in Corporate Finance

In 2024, over 50 elections will take place, influencing the lives of nearly half of the world’s population. These elections, spanning from the United States to Sri Lanka and beyond, carry substantial implications for human rights, international diplomacy, and economic stability. Whether the elections result in new leadership or the reinforcement of current regimes, the global repercussions could be significant.

These electoral outcomes will have a profound impact on markets and policy environments, particularly affecting sectors reliant on project finance, such as renewables, oil and gas, and electric vehicle infrastructure. The extent of these impacts will vary across different countries, introducing an element of macroeconomic and market unpredictability. This uncertainty poses both risks and opportunities for global investors in tactical project finance and infrastructure. 

How can you best prepare your project finance team for the upcoming global electoral changes?

In this 60-minute webinar, Ian will cover:

- Project Finance Assets: Identifying the riskiest
- Project Finance Risks: Highlighting the most pressing concerns
- Deep Dive of Major Risks
- Essential Guidelines for Conducting a Project Finance Risk Assessment

Join the webinar and equip your team with the knowledge and strategies needed to navigate the dynamic landscape of global project finance amid the change and uncertainties of the 2024 elections.

Impact of 2024 Global Elections on Project Finance Risk: What You Need to Know

In this webinar we will demonstrate the biggest single mistake made by most banks around the world when managing their risks. Despite the billions spent on risk management frameworks, staff, tools and technology, regulators are witnessing serious failures by banks of all types and sizes around the world. Regulators are now calling for banks to improve their risk management or face significant capital addons. However, how can risk management professionals fix frameworks when they don't acknowledge the fundamental problem? Attendees will have the opportunity to experience a live demonstration of this mistake, and gain an appreciation of what is required to address it. All banks think their own risk management frameworks are good enough, and yet all banks continually fail this simple test.

Takeaways:
- Understand the facts & figures relating to the failures of risk management
- Learn why most banks fail (i.e. collapse or suffer the largest losses)
- Understand the common mistake which causes these failures
- Understand how to address this issue

Taster Session: The Role of ESG in Infrastructure and Project Finance

Please join us on Thursday, July 7th at 2:00pm Singapore time for this hour-long live webinar.

Some key points our expert panelists will address:
-Why should APAC acquirers and sellers care about ESG factors in dealmaking?
-What are the key ESG factors acquirers need to be aware of when executing deals?
-Precisely how are ESG factors impacting M&A in specific APAC countries and sectors?  
-To what extent are ESG factors changing the nature of transactions in APAC?
-How are ESG considerations impacting due diligence in APAC?
-How is technology helping dealmakers navigate ESG requirements in M&A?  

The importance of environmental, social, and governance factors in M&A has been rising across all markets globally during the past few years, boosted by the impact of the pandemic and war in Ukraine most recently. Yet, while ESG is seen as unilaterally important in dealmaking, the levels of importance and how that is demonstrated vary across regions. In some respects, Asia-Pacific dealmakers are leading their global peers.

Off the back of a record year for APAC M&A, we will take a deep dive into the fast-evolving and important area of ESG, analyzing the extent to which it is driving and transforming dealmaking in the region, which sectors are being impacted most, and what role technology is playing from diligence to execution.
