Making Progress on the Sustainability Puzzle – Key Findings on Asia Funds ESG Survey 2023

Morrison Foerster recently shared the results of our second Asia Funds ESG Survey. In our 2022 report, we concluded that sustainability work had become a clear priority for GPs headquartered in Asia, with most organizations devoting increasingly significant resources to this area. However, we also noted that work was at an early stage for many in the region. One year later, this year’s research reveals that further progress has been made. But there is also evidence of concern about the pace of change—many GPs in our research feel uncomfortable with the rapid evolution of sustainability policies.

Join MoFo partners Marcia Ellis, Susan Mac Cormac, Gordon Milner, and Yemi Tépé to explore the following topics:

• Why are Asia funds re-evaluating sustainability efforts?

• What are the new regulatory requirements in the U.S. and EU that will impact portfolio companies in Asia?

• Separate from compliance, how to generate alpha while focusing on impact and sustainability?

• What does DE&I mean for funds?

• What is Responsible Tech and how can PE Funds factor Responsible Tech into investment decisions and portfolio management?

• How does sustainability-linked financing play out in Asia?

• How can GPs improve performance in terms of emissions reduction/decarbonization?
