She has held key roles at PwC, EY, and the Securities Commission of Malaysia, bringing her unique expertise to the intersection of finance, strategy, and environmental policy. Dr Yasmin holds a PhD in Natural Resource Policy (Environmental Economics) and is a certified GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Practitioner through BSI. As the Head of Carbon Management at Agrotrop Plantation Services, she translates climate policy into practice on the ground. She has led complex initiatives, including compliance with the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), achieving ISO 14067 carbon footprint certification, and developing an ambitious net-zero strategy. Dr Yasmin’s breadth of experience and practical insights will equip attendees with both high-level perspectives and actionable takeaways for integrating carbon into financial strategy.
Carbon is no longer just an environmental concern—it has become a material financial risk and opportunity. Climate-related disasters have caused over US$3.6 trillion in economic losses since 2000, while investors, regulators, and markets now expect companies to manage carbon with the same discipline as financial performance. Carbon pricing already covers about 23% of global emissions, generating nearly US$95 billion annually, and new regulations such as IFRS S2 and the EU’s CSRD are making climate risk disclosure mandatory.
As a result, carbon exposure increasingly affects valuations, capital access, and investor confidence, with over 23,000 companies now disclosing emissions data through CDP. Leading authorities warn that the cost of inaction could far exceed the cost of adaptation, exposing firms to higher capital costs, reputational damage, and transition risks. Conversely, organisations that integrate carbon management into financial strategy can strengthen resilience, attract green capital, improve efficiency, and gain a competitive advantage. This shift makes carbon management not optional, but essential to long-term value and growth.
