ESG Investment Europe 2022

Memo

The World Will Not Wait: The Time for ESG Is Now Integrating ESG into every investment decision is no longer optional: it's non-negotiable. At Reuters Events: ESG Investment Europe 2022 (November 22-23, London Tower Bridge), join 300+ industry executives from every corner of the ESG ecosystem to find out how the financial community can balance the needs of a world in crisis with their fiduciary responsibilities. 5 key themes shaping the future of ESG investment at #ESGEU2022: 1. Charting the Course of a Just Transition:How to intertwine Environmental, Social, & Governance factors in your double-materiality analysisAs the road to Net Zero has taken shape, so the financial community has realised that a sustainable transition calls for double materiality assessments that account for the ways E, S, and G intersect. By broadening their understanding and acting early, investors can mobilize sustainable development and maximize returns with investment strategies that account for every facet of ESG. Learn how to get to grips with innovative social metrics; evaluate the risks and opportunities of investing in emerging markets; and deepen your organisation’s understanding of what ‘impact’ really entails. 2. Shining a Spotlight on Accountability:How to action transparency & robust stewardship as vehicles to drive us down the road to Net ZeroHow do you quantify an ‘ambitious’ Net Zero target? What makes a genuinely ‘robust’ steward? Buzzwords alone won’t fulfil the growing responsibilities thrust upon the financial community. Now more than ever, clients expect investors to hold themselves and their investments accountable, delivering sustainable, future-proofed portfolio opportunities. Learn how to reduce risk and foster trust with reliable science-based targets, strong benchmarks, and rigorous reporting procedures that ensure your organisation’s claims, like those of their invested companies, are genuinely deliverable. 3. Responding to a Changing Regulatory Landscape:How to keep pace with the tidal wave of regulatory updates without losing sight of what's relevantThe European Commission have been at the forefront of the regulatory conversation, setting a global reporting precedent which has been bolstered by an international push for unified standards worldwide. But investors still lack clarity – particularly in relation to the EU Green Taxonomy, Draft Social Taxonomy, and plans for encompassing Biodiversity and Supply Chain disclosures. Learn from policymakers and industry thought leaders about how to respond to the demands of a changing regulatory landscape by cutting through the noise to keep your investment goals front and centre. 4. Overcoming Issues Inherent to Data and Metrics:How to get more from your data; plug the gaps you're missing; and find metrics which align impact with value creationAs ESG data has become more widely available, so the needs of the financial community have shifted from demanding accessibility to ensuring quality, accuracy, and comparability. Learn how to reliably evaluate data providers; compare between disparate data sets; and improve the precision of the information you’re using to inform your investment decisions with innovative gap-filling, in-house analytics, and new and disruptive metrics that deliver the transparency your clients need. 5. Maximising Meaningful Stakeholder Engagement:How to develop & implement a stakeholder-led investment philosophy at every organisational levelThe investment community has witnessed a paradigm shift away from divestment towards active engagement. As investors and invested communities have increasingly worked together to deliver ESG-led goals, a newfound emphasis has been placed on the power of cross-industry collaboration. Gain insight into the ways you can shape your investment philosophy around the needs of your clients whilst balancing the demands of your portfolio companies, employees, and shareholders. Through communication and collaboration, turn your stakeholders into your best strategic asset.
