A half-day classroom to understand how your ESG Frameworks are assessed by ESG rating industry leaders.

Virtual Classroom, 15 May 2024

Background

ESG Ratings are designed to help investors understand ESG risks and opportunities and integrate ESG factors into their portfolio construction and management processes.

Long-term risk and return profile of institutional portfolios can be impacted by a number of ESG factors, from natural resource scarcity to changing governance standards, from global workforce management to the evolving regulatory landscape.
