Challenges of ESG Investing...Regulation
This webcast is in partnership with Responsible Investor and Northern Trust Asset Management. With guest speaker, EUROSIF's Executive Director, François Passant.
‘Regulation’ is one of the main drivers of ESG growth. This webcast will discuss its impact on the changing shape of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG).
We will study the global efforts to pass legislation, implement codes of practice and self-regulation, and aim to understand what each of these efforts means for investors as they look towards incorporating ESG criteria in their portfolios – and whether it will push investors to consider ESG when they otherwise might not.
