Investor Presentaiton
Introduction
Incorporation of ESG principles is on the rise globally,
although challenges persist
Growing emphasis on ESG
•
•
Environmental, social and governance (ESG)
principles are closely aligned with the UN SDGs
There is a growing incorporation of ESG into
investment analysis, corporate strategy and decision-
making amid widespread socio-economic challenges
and renewed environmental commitments
ESG risk analysis and mitigation can provide a buffer
against external headwinds, including market volatility,
and protect long-term financial performance
Challenges of ESG
•
•
•
•
No one-size-fits-all approach
Personalised trajectory: journey typically starts with
development and integration of ESG strategy
Organisations have varying risk exposure, priorities
and opportunities to create shared ESG value
Ratings, reporting and benchmarking: what to
include and how to measure (see slides 24-25)
Balancing E, S and G (see slide 26)
Digitalisation, investment and climate
-
Climate sustainability is among the most pressing
concerns for the coming decade, with Indonesia -
alongside many other emerging markets – particularly
vulnerable to the negative impacts of climate change.
Digital transformation and dedicated financing are key
to unlocking the full potential of ESG.

Incumbent challenges
ESG is increasingly recognised as a
strategy for risk mitigation and value
creation. This was accelerated during
the Covid-19 period: 79% of APAC
investors reported significantly or
moderately increasing ESG
investments in response to the
pandemic by the third quarter of 2020,
according to MSCI.
Nonetheless, a number of challenges
remain. Key among these, there is no
one-size-fits all approach: ESG risk
exposure varies by organisation, as
well as by market and industry. Within
emerging markets in particular, it is
paramount to balance environmental,
social and governance concerns -
adding another layer of complexity.
Digital transformation and dedicated
financing remain key for progress.
