ESC Managing Director Ben Ridley will be a featured speaker at the ESG Reporting in Focus: Climate, Nature and Reporting Excellence webinar, organised by the Hong Kong ESG Reporting Awards (HERA) on 29 May 2026.
The free session brings together sustainability practitioners and business leaders for key updates and practical guidance across ESG reporting, spanning climate, nature, and reporting excellence. Ben joins fellow speakers Tony Wong, Founder of the Hong Kong ESG Reporting Awards, and Alex Spencer, Managing Director at Unwritten.
Ben will be addressing Nature Risk and Opportunity, drawing on ESC’s sustainability advisory work across Asia Pacific to explore how organisations in the region are beginning to integrate nature-related considerations into their ESG strategy and disclosure frameworks.
Nature risk is fast becoming a priority for businesses and investors across Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area (GBA). As a leading international financial centre, Hong Kong sits at the intersection of capital flows and sustainability accountability, with investors, asset managers, corporate and listed companies increasingly expected to disclose how their portfolios and operations depend on and impact natural systems. Driven by growing regulatory momentum and the global uptake of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework, organisations are under increasing pressure to reflect these considerations in their reporting. For businesses operating across the GBA and broader Asia Pacific, this represents both an emerging compliance challenge and a strategic opportunity to demonstrate responsible stewardship of natural capital.
ESC works with organisations across Asia Pacific on sustainability advisory, helping businesses translate evolving frameworks into actionable programmes. Ben’s participation reflects ESC’s ongoing engagement with Hong Kong and GBA‘s ESG community and our commitment to building practical advisory capability in the region.
The webinar takes place on 29 May 2026, 4:00 PM HKT via Zoom, conducted in English with Chinese subtitles. Registration is free — secure your spot here.
