How do ESG-led investments minimise the risk of stranded assets?

9:30-10:30am

Climate-related risks, transitional and physical, are the most significant risk type leading to stranded assets. Failing to set and achieve science-based targets and credible decarbonisation plans can leave assets at risk of failing behind government policies and suffering potential loss in value or increase in costs (operation or retrofit). So how do we reimagine our ESG strategy so it’s no longer about ESG, just strategy?

1:30-3pm

How can integrated design practices maximise your natural capital values and deliver cost-effective legal compliance and better ESG outcomes? Hear our experts explore how a holistic lens can deliver commercially viable, sustainable and resilient development that supports nature and climate recovery.
