SEC's climate change and sustainable finance initiatives

LAST August 31, I had the honor to speak at an exclusive climate change training for GT Capital Holdings Inc. that was organized by the Institute of Corporate Directors. Other distinguished speakers also attended the training, which covered topics on the importance of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria on climate change, case studies on the impact of climate change on the Philippines and businesses, and climate risk measurements, among others.

I would like to share what I said in my presentation, which primarily focused on the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) existing and new policies on climate change and sustainable finance.
