𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 & 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗦𝗚 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻 Across Asia, India, and the Middle East, ultra-high-net-worth families are no longer treating ESG as a box to tick — they’re embedding it at the core of how wealth is managed, values are passed down, and legacies are built. Insights from Wealtra, Hubbis article outlines, this shift is not cosmetic. It's generational, systemic, and deeply intentional: ▪️Next-gen family members are becoming stewards of change — aligning capital with climate action, equity, and long-term resilience. ▪️Family offices are evolving — from custodians of wealth to architects of sustainable impact. ▪️Governments in the Middle East and India are creating momentum — through national mandates and ESG frameworks. ▪️Advisors and partners are retooling their offerings — to provide not just returns, but relevance and responsibility. At Aikya Connect, we see this transformation firsthand. Our network of single-family offices is actively rethinking legacy — integrating purpose into governance, deal evaluation, and succession planning. ESG isn’t a trend. It’s a shared language of leadership and collaboration. As we build this space for India's most forward-thinking families to collaborate, sustainability — in all its forms — is rising as a key theme.
