最近，APREA及其 环境、社会及公司治理和可持续发展委员会 开展了一项 ESG 会员调查，以了解实物资产公司对其 ESG 实施情况的看法。.

Now more than ever sustainability and ESG topics are coming to the forefront across the globe from a diverse group of stakeholders including employees, customers, suppliers, communities, investors and regulators. Driven in part by the Covid-19 pandemic, there is a focus on employee health & safety, supply chain resilience, and corporate culture, along with growing concerns on climate risk to reputation and the associated impact on corporate value creation.

Following the ESG webinar jointly presented by DFIN (Donnelley Financial Solutions), SGX RegCo and industry leaders in October 2020, DFIN’s John Truzzolino, Director of Corporate Governance Services continued the dialogue with Esther An, Chief Sustainability Officer of City Developments Limited (CDL). Esther is an active advocate for green building and sustainability, she spearheaded the publication of the first sustainability report using GRI standards in Singapore in 2008. Today, CDL is ranked as a top real estate company on the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World 2020 list.

许多机构投资者正面临着多年来最大的挑战。他们正以惊人的速度转型投资流程，以适应当今的迫切需求，例如环境、社会和治理 (ESG) 投资、创新技术、不断变化的监管环境以及对更高透明度的要求。然而，他们必须在复杂且不稳定的金融环境中完成这一切。我将这一挑战比作在暴风雨中更换船只的帆和桅杆。为了撰写这份报告，我们调查了 200 位资产所有者（养老基金、保险公司、主权财富基金和捐赠基金/基金会），他们拥有的资产总额约为 18 万亿美元。阅读报告后，我惊讶地发现，疫情进一步加速了向 ESG 的转型。当被问及未来三到五年内将影响其机构的三大趋势时，621 位受访者提到了气候变化或 ESG 衡量标准的日益复杂化——远远领先于市场波动和监管等其他主题。但这并非唯一的变革。新一轮数据技术浪潮正在给投资流程带来意义深远的改变。这些技术为理解市场和提高效率开辟了新的途径。.
