Sustainable finance is evolving. As the global community faces unprecedented challenges brought about by climate change, the need for transparent, consistent, and actionable financial disclosures has never been more critical. At the heart of this transformation are the legal and regulatory frameworks that guide sustainable investment and reporting.
We invite you to be part of this important conversation at the 'From Climate Disclosure to Sustainable Reporting' workshop. Join us to engage with experts from Australia and Taiwan as we explore the regulatory shifts, emerging reporting standards, and the evolving landscape of sustainable finance.
Our Audience
This workshop is designed for academics and professionals passionate about sustainable finance and cross-jurisdictional frameworks. Whether you're looking to gain a deeper understanding of the evolving regulatory landscape or engage in insightful discussions with academics, regulators, professionals, and industry or community leaders, this event offers valuable opportunities for all.
We also welcome participants from other sectors who are eager to learn, connect, and contribute to the dialogue as we explore the future of sustainable finance.
IMPORTANT: While we encourage all interested parties to register, please note that attendance will be subject to the final capacity and space availability at the venue. The hosting organisation reserves the right to modify the program and make final determination regarding participation. Early registration is recommended to secure your spot.
You are welcome to participate in person or online, but we strongly encourage attending in person to make the most of the opportunity to engage with cross-border peers and experts. The event serves complimentary morning tea and lunch, offering an excellent chance to connect and network with our international partners who have travelled across the seas to join us.
A Unique Opportunity for Networking and Insight
The workshop will bring together leading figures from the Taiwan Stock Exchange, the Joint Credit Information Center (Credit Bureau of Taiwan), E.SUN Bank, Australian Sustainable Finance Institute, ANZ, CAANZ, Deloitte Australia, and more top academics and industry experts from both Australia and Taiwan. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with key stakeholders in sustainable finance across Australia and Taiwan, hear firsthand about emerging solutions, and contribute perspectives to shape future regulatory frameworks.
