Linking ESG
for people and planet
Addressing climate risks and the socio-ecological impacts
An understanding of the social, economic, governance and political (ESG) issues arising from ecological changes and variability such as
-
climate change
-
biodiversity loss
-
biogeochemical flows changes
-
land-system change

ocean acidification
is key to building corporate regenerative and sustainable values.
Hi, I'm Catherine Chong
I help companies and investors to understand, integrate and adapt to corporate sustainable and regenerative values.
ESG, Sustainability & Regenerative Advisor
18 Years of Sustainability, Impact Investing and Tech Professional Experience in Asia, North America, and UK.
A strategist and an analyst by nature, I work with companies to identify, link and then disentangle economic, ecological, social, and governance (ESG) risks and impacts into corporate decisions.
My expertise includes translating complex socio-ecological systems thinking and component 'feedback' into corporate decisions.
My professional experience extends from corporate consulting for fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) groups, private equity and sovereign wealth funds, to impact fund structuring and management.
The projects in my portfolio include national green accounting, rainforests and wildlife conservation, sustainable crops certification, ethical lending and investing, payment-for-ecosystem services schemes like carbon cap-and-trade, and sustainable product strategy in food, fashion, and other consumer goods.
