Reuters Events Exclusive Keynote Panel Release:
ESG Origination – Why Asset Owners Demand ESG
With 83% of consumers stating that they believe companies should be actively shaping ESG best practices (according to PwC), it’s clear that the demand for sustainable and ethical investment practices has far outgrown the immediate financial world.
But questions still remain around how asset owners can keep up with this societal sea change, and how can they communicate their growing set of priorities to invested companies to ensure active engagement is an effective enough risk management strategy to satisfy consumers in the long term.
As we reflect on the learnings from our recent Active Ownership Webinar (hosted on the 12th of May), we wanted to deepen our focus on the asset owner perspective, continuing the conversation with an Exclusive Release of our Keynote Panel: ESG Origination - Why Asset Owners Demand ESG, available from the 15th of June 2022 for two weeks only.
