On 15 May 2024, Rajah & Tann organised its monthly seminar series LearningBytes 2024, with this month’s seminar titled “Sustainable Finance as a Tool for Transition – What You Need to Know”.
What are considered debt instruments and how can companies use this to transit towards a more sustainable future? As businesses increasingly shift towards models that prioritise wider Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) outcomes, sustainable finance emerges as a pivotal tool for facilitating this transition. At the seminar, the speakers explored:
(a) the essential levers to propel sustainable finance growth and accelerate business sustainability transformation;
(b) regulatory frameworks and mechanisms driving transition planning and sustainable finance;
(c) the role which carbon plays in this context; and
(d) the litigation risks inherent in sustainable finance.
The speakers comprised Lee Weilin, Head of the Sustainability Practice, and Benjamin Liew and Priscilla Soh from the same Practice.
