Organisers

Association for Sustainable & Responsible Investment in Asia (ASrIA) ( www.asria.org )
The Association for Sustainable & Responsible Investment in Asia (ASrIA) is a not for profit, membership association dedicated to promoting corporate responsibility and sustainable investment practice in the Asia Pacific region. ASrIA's members include investment institutions managing over US$4 trillion in assets, however membership is open to any organization which has an interest in sustainable investment.

ASrIA's goal is to build market capacity for SRI. We provide insightful, up to date and accessible information on the development of SRI in Asia and globally. We have also become the platform for different sectors within the community to exchange information and perspectives on SRI, and to take practice forward.

Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) ( www.cdproject.net )
The UK based Carbon Disclosure Project is a key global resource for assessing the risks presented by climate change and for benchmarking management initiatives. CDP has been systematically gathering data from corporates since its founding in 2000. ASrIA manages the Asia Ex-Japan sample on behalf of CDP. Backed by the largest investor coalition in the world (475 international investors with US$55 trillion assets under management were signatories to the CDP in 2009), the CDP questionnaire will be sent in 2010 to over 4500 listed companies world-wide, including over 500 companies in Asia ex-Japan. An overview of the investor led CDP initiative is here: https://www.cdproject.net/en-US/Programmes/Pages/CDP-Investors.aspx.

British Consulate-General Hong Kong ( http://ukinhongkong.fco.gov.uk )
Climate change is one of the British Government's four main international policy goals. Its objective is to promote a low carbon, high growth global economy. Here in Hong Kong, the British Consulate-General is acting to promote messages about climate change. It aims to support the Hong Kong government and businesses in developing climate change strategies through promoting debate and sharing UK's expertise.
