Cutting Through ESG Crap
Cutting Through ESG Crap is the title of our next online Power Hour session, featuring Tony Adams who is the Head of Sustainable Investment Research at Lonsec and a thought leader in the investment industry. He has a track record of taking on the status quo and calling out efforts that are misguided or misleading.
It will be provocative, with plenty of scope for Q&A so that you can join in.
Our conversation will include:
The good, the bad and the ugly in the ESG world.
Insights into interactions between investors and company investor relations teams.
Calling out what can and should change.
The role we can all play in aligning ESG initiatives with purpose-driven aims.
This is a unique opportunity to gain insights from an expert who scrutinises these issues every day.
