How venture capital is creating an inclusive and sustainable future for Southeast Asia

The Launch of East Ventures - Sustainability Report 2022

20 April 2022, 2:00 pm SGT

A recent report in Bloomberg Intelligence pegged investments in sustainability funds at $53 trillion by 2025 – a 40% increase from the $37.8 trillion in 2021. 

While only 11% of survey respondents in Bain & Co’s Global M&A Report for 2022 indicated that they assess ESG elements on a regular basis today, 65% of them expect their company’s focus on ESG to increase.

It is clear that sustainability is no longer at the fringes of discussions on investment, but is rapidly occupying the centre. 

East Ventures – Sustainability Report 2022 , a new report from East Ventures highlights how Venture Capital can have a powerful impact, by focusing not just on financial returns, but also empowering communities and regions. 

To mark the launch of the report, we invite you to attend an exclusive webinar on ‘How venture capital is creating an inclusive and sustainable future for Southeast Asia.’

Scheduled for April 20, 2022 at 1 pm JKT / 2 pm SGT the webinar will feature speakers from the worlds of investment, startups, and development to provide a holistic view on transforming sustainability from buzzword to guiding principle. 

Sign up to attend the webinar and receive a copy of the report as soon as it is formally launched. 

The webinar is being organised by DealStreetAsia and sponsored by East Ventures.
