“Taking ESG Mainstream – Unlocking Financial Materiality”, a planned webinar at 1030-1130 GMT on January 29 to be hosted by Reuters Events, will focus on key points of environmental, social and government (ESG) criteria in investment decision-making.
Please register for the webinar here.
This interactive webinar is made in conjunction with ESG Investment Europe, a planned conference in London on May 27-28 that is also organised by Reuters Events and is expected to bring together about 150 investors, asset managers and data providers.
The webinar speakers will argue that ESG criteria, if competently used, are not a burden but a way to larger revenues.
According to the Global Sustainable Investment Alliance (GSIA), sustainable investments – investments involving the use of ESG criteria – have surged 34 per cent worldwide to more than as $30 trillion since 2016 with no sign of this growth slowing down.
However, data scarcity is a major issue.
Just as ESG Investment Europe, the webinar will address the problem of the lack of critical data making asset managers sideline ESG criteria.
The speakers are –
– Veronica Chau, partner and director of sustainable investing and social impact at Boston Consulting Group, a Boston-headquartered management consulting firm that has offices in more than 50 countries and reported sales of $7.5bn for 2018;
– Andrew Parry, head of sustainable investments at Newton Investment Management, a subsidiary of Bank of New York Mellon Corp (BNY Melon), the world’s largest custodian bank. Newton has more than £50bn ($65.4bn) of assets under management;
– Frank Siblesz, senior director at DIF Capital Partners, a company managing assets worth €5.6bn ($6.2bn).
