About the event

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is a complex and crucial issue in the current finance industry. It has been a trending topic for a few years, but many investors and financial institutions are still unaware of the risks associated with ESG. Getting it wrong can result in legal, regulatory, practical, and reputational challenges. However, the risks of ESG can also present opportunities to make a positive impact. It is important to recognize the materialization of these risks in various ways and take action to address them. We simply cannot afford to look away from the importance of ESG in the finance industry.
