Environmental, Social and Governance seminar

Environmental, Social and Governance refers to a company’s behaviour with regards to the 3 pillars and ESG data produced reflects the externalities an organisation is producing with regards to them. Investors are increasingly applying these factors as part of their analysis to identify business risks and opportunities, and they are relevant to all stakeholders in the value chain.

• What is it

• How to set the agenda
• Treating ESG as an opportunity
• Getting ahead of the curve

Light refreshments will be provided
