APREA ESG Guidebook for Real Assets in Asia Pacific

As the voice of sustainable investing in the Asia Pacific, APREA has developed the ESG Guidebook for Real Assets in Asia Pacific to raise awareness about ESG and guide our stakeholders in their journey to sustainability. We believe that capital allocated to real assets can play a meaningful role in the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), while leveraging growth opportunities in a manner that benefits all stakeholders.

We recognise that the ESG landscape continues to evolve, and this Guidebook lays out the basic foundation to integrate ESG and sustainability factors in how each of us conduct our businesses. Aside from providing a framework that can be used as a basis in establishing a systematic ESG approach, we have included practical ways to build and operationalise an ESG program with effective governance, as well as clear steps to engage and communicate with key stakeholders.

The Guidebook also features case studies among APREA members that illustrate various innovative approaches, that reflect their philosophy and investment styles, and thus, facilitating the exchange of best practices.
