ADSW Summit: How ESG Investments Create Sustainable Value

In Conversation: H.E. Dr. Tariq Bin Hendi, Director General, Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO)

Moderator: Danny Sebright, President, US-UAE Business Council

How can banks bring together stakeholders, and harness technology, to accelerate the pace of the net-zero transition? What role did COVID-19 play in focusing attention on sustainability as a key business goal?
