The Future of ESG Frameworks for the Finance Sector
Event Details
Understanding ESG frameworks and their transformative role in the Banking and Finance Sector is vital in shaping the future of the world of finance. As the demand for sustainable investment and corporate accountability intensifies, financial institutions are increasingly adopting ESG criteria to align business practices with long-term societal and environmental goals.
This webinar brings together a panel of experts to examine the components of ESG: environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and governance excellence. They will consider how these factors influence decision-making in finance and banking as well as supporting a strategic approach to identifying new opportunities, complying with regulation, driving innovation, engaging stakeholders and enhancing corporate reputation.
We will also explore the role of ESG in promoting a more inclusive financial system, fostering ethical investments, and supporting efforts to address climate change and social inequality.
These points will be considered in the context of the future of these frameworks in a rapidly changing world.
Join us for an insightful webcast in partnership with The Manchester Metropolitan University, ‘The Future of ESG Frameworks for the Finance Sector’.
