Dr. Evenlyn Ma was invited to give a keynote speech on "The Integration of ESG and the Fashion Industry," focusing on interpreting new ESG regulations related to the textile industry, introducing the path for companies to establish ESG management, and sharing practical case studies for improvement.

During the roundtable discussion, Dr. Ma engaged in discussions with attendees on topics such as low-carbon sustainable fashion and the impact of ESG regulations on the fashion industry, particularly at the supplier level, as well as discussions on low-carbon and traceability in the fashion industry.

Dr. Ma  then shared insights on the topic of "How to Become a 'Game Changer'."

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) assessment and disclosure are ways for companies to self-assess and understand their non-financial development, and to communicate relevant information to the outside world.

ESG management is a process that takes time. As an internationally recognized testing, inspection, and certification body, SGS can provide comprehensive ESG solutions. On one hand, SGS aims to guide companies in ESG assessment and disclosure by providing training, coaching, and risk identification to help them better understand their current ESG status. On the other hand, SGS can assist companies in enhancing their ESG systems, preparing ESG reports, and achieving ESG disclosures tailored to their needs. Additionally, SGS can offer third-party verification services for companies that have completed report preparation to enhance the credibility of their ESG disclosures.

Furthermore, SGS can provide a range of low-carbon and energy management services to clients, including ISO 14067 Product Carbon Footprint, ISO 14068-1 Carbon Neutrality Verification and Approval, SBTi Science-based Carbon Target Setting, Resource Efficiency Assessment and Verification, Zero Carbon Factory/Green Factory Certification, International Sustainable Development and Carbon Certification (ISCC Plus), and more.
