10.00am - 10.20am Guest-of-Honour Address (TBA)

10.20am - 11.00am Keynote Address: Reimagine Leadership, Not Capitalism

Although technological advancements have led to life-changing innovation in recent years, the first two decades of the 21st century have already witnessed two global recessions, socio-political strife, severe resource/income inequality, and massive environmental degradation. We live in times where exciting growth opportunities coexist with existential threats to current and future generations, but businesses cannot fully exploit opportunities and sustain their success without addressing the threats. In today’s brave new world, we need brave new thinking that creates a WIN-WIN-WIN scenario wherein individuals, organisations, and humanity at large can thrive together.

But how? The most common cry these days is to shun shareholder centric capitalism and replace it with a more inclusive model that caters to the needs of a wider set of stakeholders including future generations and the environment. In his keynote, Rajeev Peshawaria, CEO of the Stewardship Asia Centre will challenge this view and argue that the solution lies in reimagining leadership, not capitalism. Instead of just changing and/or strengthening the rules and regulations governing market mechanisms, we need a change of beliefs and behaviors towards collective values and higher purpose. In short, we need a whole new leadership model – one that embraces stewardship.

The keynote will cover the following: How the world has changed in recent years because of massive shifts in both technological and societal norms Steward leadership as a model to drive inclusive WIN-WIN-WIN growth

1.15pm - 2.15pm Panel Discussion: Towards a Just Transition: The Role of Investors For Positive Social Change

The COVID-19 pandemic placed a bright light on the ‘S’ in ESG investing, underscoring the importance of integrating social factors into investment strategies. This focus on the ‘S’ will be paramount as investors consider their role in investing for a just transition. Without a full integration of social, environmental and governance factors, a low-carbon future that works for both the environment and society will be impossible to attain.

In this session, our panelists will share how investors can play an active and effective role in the just transition. How can social factors be fully embedded into investment strategies? How can environmental and social factors be better integrated going forward?
