UOB fuses ESG concerns into investment solutions

It has built a framework to ensure partners' commitment to ESG risks.

UOB has integrated ESG considerations into its full suite of investment solutions, including unit trusts, bonds and structured products, a statement read.

The bank has built a structured due diligence framework for the selection of solution providers to ensure that partners show commitment to addressing ESG risks and opportunities.

Solution providers must have operationalised policies and processes in place and adopt or align to globally-recognised standards from the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and CDP.

UOB is offering products such as UOB Asset Management’s United Sustainable Credit Income Fund and the Allianz Global Sustainability Fund, as well as green bonds selected from the constituents of the Bloomberg MSCI Green Bond Index.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
