ABOUT THIS ONLINE EVENT

Investors increasingly take into consideration the long-term impact of their investments on the environment, society and the performance of the corporate whilst seeking positive returns. In 2019, UK Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) funds had an average inflow of £124m a week. The financial services industry responded to the increased client request for ESG investing by launching 23 new ESG funds in 2019 compared to 15 in 2018.

Considering the evolving client preferences; the Government’s pledge to further introduce measures in order to meet the world leading target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050; and the regulator’s increased focus on addressing climate challenges and efforts to bolster green finance, it’s likely that regulatory expectations will increase on ESG issues, including the implementation of ESG standards and sustainability related disclosures. Join us at this forum to learn about the Government’s strategy and the regulator’s priorities and to hear experts’ and industry views on how to effectively integrate ESG into your investment strategy.
