ESG : The What, the Why and Importance
There is so much information in the public domain about ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) agendas and the importance of measuring impact for an organisation.
With a specific focus on the environmental element of ESG relating to Climate Change, what role can you play in guiding your organisation in this space? How far up your agenda does ESG lie?
This webinar aims to explore the what and the why of ESG within business, why it is increasingly important and what steps you can take as a business to bolster your ESG agenda.
Learn also about ESG ratings and factors being integrated into the investment process and how a lack of standards around ESG data verification, can lead to claims of “greenwashing”.
