The Asia Tech Podcast was joined by Jessica Camus, the Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Diginex Solutions, which provides blockchain-enabled tools for tracking environmental, social, and governance data. Jessica is quite experienced in helping organizations strategically address social and sustainability risks and opportunities for value creation through the lens of blockchain technology, impact investments, and sustainable supply chains. Jessica and I discussed: Companies are being challenged to address how their business operations impact their external environment. Companies are also being challenged to understand how changes in their ESG policies are impacting their business operations. How SMEs were impacted by COVID-19 and how that drove their approach to ESG. Non-financial concerns have become important to shareholders, business partners, and customers. Companies are now expected to report both qualitative and quantitative ESG data to show progress against specific targets. How transparency and accountability around ESG reporting will continue to become increasingly important. How sustainable finance may impact future funding and credit availability.
