ESG risks and opportunities for the financial sector in Kazakhstan:
from the rating agencies and investors' view

About the event
The Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market (ARFRDF) has initiated work to introduce ESG principles into the regulation of the financial market.

Regulation will be focused on stimulating financial organizations for sustainable development in order to redistribute financial resources in favor of sustainable projects. This will have a positive impact on increasing the investment attractiveness of the Republic of Kazakhstan and contributes to the growth of social and environmental responsibility of companies.

We invite representatives of companies, experts in the field of business and sustainable development, as well as various groups of stakeholders to exchange ideas for transforming corporate governance and methods of interaction based on benchmarking and practical cases on assessing ESG risks in Kazakhstan.
