Tech in Asia has been committed to being a carbon-neutral business since 2019. We have optimized our own practices to be energy-efficient, increased news coverage on climate tech, as well as partnered with nonprofit organization Cool Effect to back green projects in India, Indonesia, and China. Most recently, we launched The Offset, a monthly newsletter that breaks down the biggest stories and trends in greentech.
But there’s only so much we can do alone.
Firms in Asia have the lowest environmental, social, and governance (ESG) transparency rate, sitting at just 5% while their European peers peak at 17.8%. As we progress toward building a sustainable economy and environment, disclosure and benchmarking help organizations stay in sync with market and consumer needs while identifying and tackling potential risks.
If you’re on the lookout for avenues to measure, manage, and contribute to environmental sustainability, here are a few ways Tech in Asia can work with you.
Tech in Asia x CDP
Tech in Asia has partnered with CDP – a global nonprofit that runs the world’s environmental disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states, and regions – to improve our social impact in Asia. CDP works with more than 590 investors that have over US$110 trillion in assets and provides the most comprehensive set of environmental data aligned with the Task Force on Financial-Related Climate Disclosures’ framework.
Our work with CDP will help tech companies understand their environmental impact and tie it in ways to become more sustainable, and we need as many hands on deck as possible to make this happen.
Raising ESG awareness to Asia’s tech community
We also want to use our influence to raise awareness of ESG initiatives by the tech community. Starting April 18, Tech in Asia will be conducting a weeklong Earth Day campaign that highlights how people are using technology, innovation, and refreshed business models to contribute to environmental sustainability and social impact.
As an Earth Day partner, we’ll co-create meaningful content and campaigns that leverage Tech in Asia’s strength of storytelling while reaching out to Asia’s largest tech community. Whether you are a startup, investor, accelerator, incubator, institution, or a government body, let us know how we can collaborate.
