Summary. In-depth discussion with UBS Global Wealth Management’s Stephanie Choi about sustainable investing (SI) and finance. The discussion first puts SI into the global context as well as the regional one. Then Stephanie tackles SI products from a variety of perspective. Stephanie also clearly unpacks some of the SI critique which has been grabbing headlines recently and offered her insights as to what SI is supposed to do and what it cannot address. Other areas examined include corporates’ attitudes, SI in Asia in general and in China in particular as well as a longer term “hope” of how SI will develop in the region over the next few decades.
