Overview
About
This lecture is part of the NBS-PRI-ECGI Public Lecture Series, a global joint initiative by Nanyang Business School (NBS), Principles for Responsible Investment and European Corporate Governance Institute to facilitate knowledge exchange between academia, industry, and policymakers in sustainable business.
As ESG fatigue grows in boardrooms, organisations are increasingly challenged to demonstrate how sustainability initiatives create tangible business value. This session explores a practical framework that connects sustainability directly to firm risk, financial performance, and shareholder value. Participants will gain insights into actionable sustainability KPIs, integrated reporting best practices, and AI-powered tools that can accelerate implementation at scale.
