Shifting Towards Sustainable Financing: A Game-Changer
24 November 2021, 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM (GM+08)
How does having a Sustainable Financing Framework provide game-changing
advantages for institutions who want to tap the debt and equity capital markets?
Find out how renewable energy sector leader AC ENERGY Corporation (ACEN), the
listed energy platform of the Ayala Group, has used innovative solutions in Sustainable
Financing to aggressively expand its renewables-focused portfolio. Over only three
years, ACEN’s market capitalization has soared from US$ 330 million to around US$ 9
billion. It has raised some USD 1.6 billion in green energy bonds. Today, the company
is a component of the Philippine Stock Exchange Index 30 and a core value driver for
Ayala Corporation. ACEN is on track to attain its goal of 5,000 MW of renewables
capacity by 2025, to become the largest listed renewables platform in Southeast Asia.
Listen to how resource speakers from other industry-leading institutions - global
investment bank UBS AG (Singapore) and major institutional investor AIA-Philam Life - utilize unique solutions in green social financing and carry out sustainable practices to make the most of the equity and debt capital markets. As a result of their participation in green and socially-focused
financing initiatives, these institutions have achieved dramatic results for their clients
and stakeholders, amidst macroeconomic challenges and the global Covid-19
pandemic.

Lighting the FIRe of Sustainability and Resiliency
25 November 2021, 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM (GM+08)
Businesses now operate in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This is characterized by accelerating technological innovations that bring about unprecedented disruptions across sectors. While we welcome such changes to move forward, companies must also be prudent and take into consideration the risk of innovation in terms of its impact to the environment, to communities, and to society as a whole. In order to succeed in long-term value creation for the benefit of all stakeholders, companies must be able to break through the crisis and integrate technology, innovation, and sustainability into corporate governance.
Tune in as this webinar and panel discussion feature renowned thought leaders such as the American roboticist Dr. David Hanson, Founder and CEO of Hanson Robotics to be accompanied by Sophia the Robot. Experts in the fields of innovation, digital technology, digital finance, and public governance will also join the discourse to share their unique experiences and personal insights on how dynamic changes in technologies will affect all other industries and how businesses can adapt and rise through these tectonic shifts in order to build sustainable enterprises and communities.

ORGANIZERS
This webinar series is brought to you by:
The Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD) is a non-stock, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the professionalization of Philippine corporate directorship by raising the level of corporate governance policy and practice to world-class standards.
ICD is the leading institution in the field of corporate governance in the Philippines. It is the officially designated Domestic Ranking Body for the ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS), a rating system designed to raise the corporate governance standards of ASEAN countries. ICD is a learned society composed of over 400 professional directors practicing ethical governance. ICD's Fellows and Members are committed to a shared vision of a transformed corporate governance ecosystem that bears the fruits of corporate and individual social responsibility. ICD is accredited with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, The Governance Commission for Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations, the Insurance Commission, the Career Executive Service Board, and the Civil Service Commission.
FINEX can best be described as a seedbed of financial leadership and a platform of national advocacy for financial issues. FINEX is a seasoning place for financial executives. The Monthly General Membership Meetings, the Professional Development Seminars, the Capital Market Development Advocacies, the Annual Conference, the Tax and Legal Affairs Symposia, the Ethics and Good Governance enforcements, the National Affairs initiatives, the Social Involvement and Outreach Programs, the International Conferences (through the IAFEI), and even the Fellowship programs are all intended to generate a healthy mutual respect among professionals and their peers in a spirit of camaraderie and mutual respect.
A few years in FINEX and a member become more disciplined in his/her own organizational commitments, which overflow to his professional commitments. FINEX helps its members to be well–rounded financial executives, responsive to the changing needs of the profession and the financial services industry, conscious of good governance principles and high ethical conduct.
The impact of FINEX is therefore first on the individual member, then to his or her company, followed by the business community, and eventually and hopefully, the country. The ING–FINEX CFO of the Year Awards encourage this development of the financial executives.
