Amidst a preoccupation with the pandemic recovery process, South Asia is exhibiting strong social innovation across the public and private sectors, as it takes big strides towards sustainable development. While corporations are developing sophisticated CSR strategies, the private wealth is building in-house capacity to invest in a more meaningful manner. Central to this conversation is a focus on ESG, impact investing, and collaboration.
More than a fifth of the world’s population is in South Asia, and the impact that this region’s performance on the SDGs has on the global performance is enormously significant. The pandemic as exacerbated the situation sliding down the region’s performance on several of the SDGs. With less than 10 years to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals, all social investors – from philanthropists to investors, corporates to policymakers, researchers to entrepreneurs – must build a vibrant and enabling ecosystem to drive the Asian Decade.
