This effort was exemplified in the ACES Sustainability Summit which was held earlier in the day on November 14^th.

In welcoming the delegates who were also ACES awards winners to the summit, Aubrens Managing Partner Dr Jayanthi Desan said the summit was aimed at unpacking several key sustainability tools to optimize ESG efforts and ultimately create value for organizations.

"I look forward to working together with everyone to firstly, identify key ESG topics and issues, how to unpack regulatory requirements with stakeholders needs," she said.

Dr Jayanthi who delved into the topic of Sustainable Value Mapping at the summit also said they will drive deeper as an organization in terms of risk mapping and opportunity assessment.

"And this is where the notion of sustainability value mapping really comes across because it is really talking about impact points across an entire organization because ESG needs to be embedded beyond selected data and disclosure.

"It needs to be actionable. It needs to show strategic advantage," said Dr Jayanthi who brings over two decades of expertise as a seasoned ESG advisor.

Delegates to the summit will be able to obtain a strategic evaluation where ESG stands for their organizations.
