MSCI in Practice: Navigating the APAC Energy Transition Through a Materiality-Driven Framework

Nowhere is the energy transition more dynamic - or more uneven - than in Asia-Pacific. Some markets are racing ahead with clean-tech innovation, while others face steep policy and infrastructure challenges. For investors, understanding these divergent pathways is critical to managing transition risk and identifying opportunity. 

MSCI’s new Energy Transition Framework helps bring clarity to this complexity - offering investors a structured, materiality-driven lens to evaluate how companies across Asia-Pacific are exposed to, and prepared for, the low-carbon transition.  

In this webinar, MSCI experts demonstrated how the framework combines risk exposure and transition readiness to identify leaders and laggards, and how investors can use it to compare progress across markets and sectors. 

Key takeaways: 

• Introduction to MSCI’s new Energy Transition Framework 

• Insights into how transition pressures and readiness levels vary across APAC markets and sectors 

• Examples of companies demonstrating readiness gaps or leadership 

• Demonstration of how investors can apply the Framework using MSCI ONE
