Presentation Synopsis
HM 20 - Can Healthcare Fix a Sick Planet with a Climate and Nature Emergency?
Being the largest healthcare group listed on the SGX, turning challenges into sustained growth opportunities is the way towards securing business and operational resilience.
Healthcare and related services function interdependently with the planet and people in today’s climate emergency; an aging infrastructure and population; stringent regulator, investor and financier expectations; and new and evolving challenges and consumer demand.
Join this session to hear more on how climate strategy, sustainability integration, innovation and nature-based solutions can lead to a healthier society, from a practitioner in green building, sustainability reporting and finance.
