World leaders call for better ESG standards to build sustainable brands
May 24, 2022 12:50 PM

ESG is the buzzword at Davos this year. In light of the tumultuous times that the global economy is faced with, there is a fair amount of turbulence and uncertainty.

So can this now set back goals of sustainable development, or set back the ESG agenda that a lot of corporations and governments have been focusing on or could it in fact accelerate the move towards cleaner energy?

To discuss this, CNBC-TV18 spoke to Emmanuel Faber, Chair of ISSB, IFRS Foundation; Laura M Cha, Chairman of HKEX; Alan Jope, CEO of Unilever and Brian T Moynihan, Chairman & CEO of Bank of America.

Watch video for the entire discussion.
