Event Description

When firm's decide to embrace ESG it involves many different activities and initiatives and raises many questions within the firm:

• What ESG framework and standards should be used? What new data is required to quantify the firm's outcomes?
• What changes to our current CSR programs should we make?
• Are there new measuring and monitoring systems to design and implement?
• How will the impacts of meeting ESG requirements be reported?
• What are the most effective ways to message the firm's actions and impact to stakeholders?
• How do all these efforts align with the firm's strategic goals?
