As a sponsor at the 2021 Hong Kong Fintech Week, Baker McKenzie moderated several panel discussions and hosted a couple of virtual masterclasses, including one on the topic “ESG Investing and Fintech.” In this session, our speakers discuss key considerations and opportunities in ESG investing and its impact on technology. They also looked at strategies some fintech businesses are adopting to respond to the new regulatory landscape, as well as emerging sustainability opportunities in this sector.
