NEXTGEN DUBLIN INVITES YOU TO
ESG Investing in Action
|
|
Interest in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing is growing rapidly. It has moved beyond a niche approach and now is increasingly adopted by mainstream investors as a valuable investment tool.
This event is part of SNI Climate Finance Week Ireland 2019, hosted by Sustainable Nation Ireland and the Department of Finance in Dublin Castle. Hear how market participants representing diverse roles view implementing ESG in practice.
• What are the criteria and issues for an asset owner when integrating ESG into a portfolio
• How does an investment consultant advise their clients when selecting an ESG manager
• How does an investment management company ensure that ESG is closely integrated into all aspects of its operations
• How does a portfolio manager integrate ESG factors into their day-to-day assessment of investment opportunities and their own investment decisions
Take a whistle stop tour of ESG investing in practice, gaining important knowledge from the frontline of this rising trend.
Share your insights with peers as you network over drinks and canapes before the event, the second in a two-part series. The first part was held on 10 October 2019; it is not necessary to have attended the first event to participate in this discussion.
Amanda Pullinger, CEO of 100 Women in Finance, will give an update on the organization's recent activities globally and speak informally with attendees.
100WF NextGen Dublin is expanding our committee. If you are interested in volunteering, please email your name and bio to
