Details

The premium in-person gathering for investors and institutional asset owners to discuss the development of ESG and sustainable investing.

The pandemic has served as a watershed moment for sustainability, underlining the fact that ESG investing does not in fact come at a cost, but rather can future-proof investments. We have seen mounting social pressure on asset owners, pushing them to consider how ESG factors may progressively impact financial return.

Growing numbers of institutional finance companies are examining how best to use the latest metrics, standards, and data to integrate ESG across all their portfolios. The need to develop a coherent strategy that will allow them to implement a market-leading strategy, and generate returns for stakeholders, has led the industry to find a universal dialogue around the ESG objectives.

The peer-led agenda developed for the event will bring together a community of senior investment officers, ESG and responsible investing experts from pension plans, insurers, foundations and endowment funds to deliver strategic insights and guidance on how to design and integrate ESG investment plans. Tackling the hard hitting questions, like AI’s role in the future of ESG, or how to approach the ‘investor’s dilemma’ of divesting or engagement, this annual gathering returns in-person for its second edition.
