Are you interested in leveraging financial markets to advance your company’s sustainability strategy? The UN Global Compact and Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) believe that corporate sustainability professionals together with their investor relations colleagues have the power to play a key role in improving the functions of the financial system. During this session, we will hear the latest on investor priorities, and learn how the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) information disclosed by companies is being used by investors and what are some of the means for driving more efficient and integrated communication with investors on a company’s long-term business strategies.
