The HKCGI Sustainability Governance Academy is excited to release the third video in its “From Policy to Practice: Sustainability in Action” series, featuring Dr Calvin Kwan of Link Asset Management Limited. Dr Kwan explains the shift from ESG as a reporting obligation to a strategic lens that shapes risk, value creation, and capital access, with boards embedding ESG across audit and risk, remuneration, investment, and sustainability committees.
He reframes stakeholder engagement as stakeholder alignment and shares practical illustrations, including sustainability‑linked insurance, net‑zero investment pathways and investor communications. He also offers advice for practitioners on building quiet influence with risk and finance teams, using data and scenario analysis, and tying ESG to operating costs and capital allocation.
The full video is available in English, accompanied by a short teaser introducing the key themes and implications. We invite members and Sustainability Professionals to watch and share this new instalment.
