ESG Seminar Series - Global Insights & Perspectives on ESG
Part five of the ESG Seminar Series.
Global ESG assets are on track to exceed US$53 trillion by 2025, representing more than a third of the US$140.5 trillion in projected total assets under management. With this increasing appetite for ESG investments, issuers need to fully embrace ESG practices and disclosure. With some countries further ahead on this than others, we will explore what Canadian issuers can learn from their global peers and stakeholders. This webcast is eligible for 2 CEUs.
Over an easy-to-use online platform, content experts will share their knowledge through facilitated live conversations in convenient, one-hour sessions with an extra 15 minutes dedicated to audience Q&A.
