Their expertise includes developing GHG emissions inventories, net zero
target-setting, decarbonization planning, impact assessment, ESG reporting, and

“Equipping ourselves with a strong foundation in ESG principles is not only
essential for navigating the future of the digital and financial landscape but

growth,” stated Haaris Mahmood Chaudhary, Interim CEO of Mobilink Bank.
“Climate change threatens our communities, especially women, farmers, and small
businesses, who are the backbone of our economy. By providing them with access
to clean energy, our ESG-focused ‘Change to Sustain’ program fosters
sustainability. This leadership training in ESG will further empower us to make
