Sustainable finance is going mainstream as "environmental, social and governance" (ESG) are being gradually factored into business decisions. Nowadays more investors are looking for investments with an impact. The FSDC and the Open University of Hong Kong jointly organised an online seminar on "Arising Regional Opportunities in ESG and Its Applications in Financial Industry". Speakers shared how firms have been striving to closely integrate ESG into their business models and how these integrations profoundly have impacted their businesses. Further, they advised students to take advantage of being young and make efforts to equip themselves as financial professionals in order to capture the regional opportunities arising from ESG.
