Stakeholder capitalism is becoming increasingly prevalent and investors are also prioritizing ESG metrics into their decision-making.
We talk to two leaders in Board Advisory about the growing importance of governance in the race to net-zero.
As the net-zero reality takes hold, the skills required to power its momentum are in hot-demand. We speak to one of the world’s leading universities about how it is attracting, supporting and educating the leaders of tomorrow.
Data centers are one of the planet’s largest energy users and consequently, they face one of the toughest challenges to decarbonize as the world’s digital transformation escalates.
Equinix executives discuss the carbon-neutral journey.
With trillions flowing into funds focused on ESG performance, how much it impacts returns is increasingly central to investor's decisions. EY and sustainability data firm ESG Book reveal the numbers that prove it's good for business.
Transport of people and goods accounts for almost one-quarter of the world’s energy-related greenhouse gas emissions making change in the sector crucial to meeting global net-zero targets. How can the industry navigate its way forward?
Almost every nation on earth signed up to the Paris agreement but how many are taking the meaningful action required to meet the UN’s sustainability goals? Esteemed universities Yale and Columbia joined forces to find out.
The global transition from fossil fuels to renewables is critical to meeting global emissions targets. We talk to the World Energy Council and the one of the world’s foremost energy futurists about what our energy future holds.
The manufacturing industry is reportedly responsible for two-thirds of greenhouse gas emissions.
We speak to the World Economic Forum and The International Center for Industrial Transformation who have been working together to raise awareness around the latest developments and technologies enabling the sector to decarbonise.
Technological innovations are fundamentally changing the way we live, work and play as well as being pivotal to solving the challenges of climate change. Singapore Management University’s Winston Chow, and Marie Cheong from Wavemaker Impact, describe how innovation in technology will not just help us save the planet but also be a powerful enabler across the value chain.
Cities are where the most crucial action is needed when it comes to fighting climate change. It’s estimated our urban centres account for less than 2% of the world’s land mass but consume nearly 80% of energy and produce more than 60% of greenhouse gas emissions. Hear from global experts about how we should face and roll-back this critical issue.
Increasing stakeholder and consumer-led pressure globally is beginning to have an impact with at least one-fifth of the world’s largest listed companies committing to net zero targets. The Head of Sustainability at South East Asia’s biggest bank, DBS, tells us how it is meeting the challenge and the Singapore Government-owned SG Innovate demonstrates how much it values purpose-driven investments.
The urgency to act on climate change has never been greater, and Equinix is taking a leading role.
