DESCRIPTION:Presented by Willem Reitsma Group Treasurer at Imperial Logistics; Debbie Millar\, Managing Director at 8Hundred and Julie Rosa\, Director at 8Hundred\n \nThe Association of Corporate Treasurers of Southern Africa (ACTSA) is delighted to announce that it will be hosting a hybrid (both face-to-face and virtual) Breakfast Presentation. For the first time in two years\, we will be able to once again network with each other with all the Covid-19 safety measures in place. \nEnvironmental\, social and governance (ESG) and sustainability is more than just ticking boxes\, but a sustainable finance initiative to build credibility\, foster investment and enable effective monitoring and disclosure of performance. Treasurers increasingly have a role to play in this area to create tangible and sustained outcomes that drive value and growth\, whilst strengthening our environment and communities. \nESG is not just about climate change and good intentions alone. It’s a practical plan embedding these principles to create sustainable finance across the business. \n
