In this week’s episode of ESG Insider, we’re bringing you coverage of a sustainability summit that S&P Global Sustainable1 hosted in Singapore on May 16.

We caught up with conference speakers to learn their key takeaways and explore the challenges Asia faces on the path to net-zero, including when it comes to transitioning away from coal-fired generation.

To understand how banks in Asia are tackling the transition, we talk with Helge Muenkel, Group Chief Sustainability Officer at Singapore-based DBS Bank, a multinational banking and financial services corporation that operates in 19 markets.

We also hear the real estate perspective from Esther An, Chief Sustainability Officer at City Developments Limited. CDL is a global real estate company headquartered in Singapore that has 143 locations in 28 countries and regions.
