About the Event

According to WWF-Singapore’s latest Sustainable Banking Assessment, Asian financial institutions are increasingly aware of nature-related risks. Yet more is needed to develop their capacity to identify, assess and manage these risks.

Deforestation is a key nature-related impact. By investing or providing services to companies that produce, trade or process forest risk commodities - such as palm oil, soy and beef - banks and investors become exposed to regulatory, reputational and financial risk.

Join experts from WWF-Singapore and Trase to discuss:

  • How Asian banks are recognising and managing nature-related risks, including in the palm oil sector

  • How the finance sector is exposed to deforestation

  • How due diligence processes can identify, evaluate, mitigate and manage deforestation-related risks
