The focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance issues (ESG) continues to accelerate as investors and other stakeholders seek to understand and assess material ESG factors in their investment, purchasing and employment decisions. ESG investment strategies already make up a large portion of US assets under professional management, and are poised to rise even higher.
This webinar will address key drivers demanding corporate attention on ESG, and how financial reporting teams can help companies identify, assess, and disclose ESG issues in ways that increase trust with stakeholders and enhance corporate reputation and long-term value.
