Emerging Skills & Developments: Spotlight on ESG 2022 | Bloomberg LP | 15 September 2022 | Webinar

As ESG grows and regulatory scrutiny increases, understanding the fundamentals of ESG and the level of integration will become a necessary part of any financial analysis. The demand for ESG upskilling is high, according to a new report from CFA Institute, "ESG skills and data visualization increased the most in terms of demand in the last two years."

Join Bloomberg and CFA Institute as we explore findings in the report, "Future of Skills and Learning in Investment Management.” We will examine current gaps between supply and demand for skills in the investment industry and tools that will enable you to succeed in your next role, specifically highlighting a key focus area of the report: ESG investing.

We will also explore ESG research strategies to help analysts gain the insight you need to generate ideas, identify ESG issues by industry and inform a compelling strategy.
