Course Outlines 課程大綱:
Board directors are held accountable for ESG and climate-related risks that impact the company.

The speakers, an investor and a leading corporate in sustainability will share insights on developments and trends. This program aims to raise competency of board members and senior management in climate and ESG, providing cases and information to build best practices.
