About this talk

A successful ESG stewardship strategy requires investors to proactively address ESG risks in their portfolios. Over the last three years, climate change has become a top ESG shareholder proposal issue. Many shareholder proponents encourage companies to align their reporting with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, set GHG emission reduction targets, conduct 2°C scenario analyses and disclose on climate impact. However, the percentage of companies providing such disclosures remains generally very low. This webinar gives an overview of emerging climate change topics from the 2018 proxy season and how investors can proactively identify climate-related risks and opportunities in their portfolios. - What are the takeaways from the 2018 proxy season and Climate Week NYC 2018? - Are we any closer to meaningful scenario analysis? - How is data developing to help investors capture physical climate risk? - Where are we at with TCFD reporting? - How important is collaboration on these issues, through things like ClimateAction100+? Moderator: Sophie Robinson-Tillett, Deputy Editor, Responsible Investor Confirmed Speakers: Maximilian Horster, Managing Director, Head, ISS-Climate Anne Simpson, Director, Board Governance and Strategy, reporting to the CEO, CalPERS and Chair ClimateAction 100+ This webinar is produced by Responsible Investor, for dedicated news and events on ESG and sustainable finance check out our website at www.responsible-investor.com
