Join Social Value International as we kick off an exciting month of discussion about what we can do to go "Beyond ESG" with a panel discussion as we put the spotlight on ESG and explore what ESG means for those who share SVI’s mission to change the way the world accounts for value.
Delivered in partnership with Impak Finance, we will be joined by an expert panel, we will explore what we mean by ESG, ask the question is the growth of ESG investing and reporting a good thing, draw out some of the main challenges we see in ESG investing at the moment, and look the future of what's next for ESG investing and reporting.
About Beyond ESG:
In March 2022, Social Value International is hosting a month-long series of conversations and thought leadership focusing on the key theme of Beyond ESG. Over the course of the month, we will host webinars, discussions, masterclasses alongside blogs and thought pieces that will culminate in a half-day conference on the 29th of March “Going Beyond ESG”.
Rather than be critical of ESG as a movement, SVI want to work with members and partners to provide constructive challenge and present practical solutions for how ESG can evolve and so the events taking place throughout “Beyond ESG” month have been increase knowledge by sharing the latest developments within ESG Investing and ESG reporting, challenge the status quo by exploring the main problems with ESG reporting, Inspire innovation by proposing solutions to the problems and empower SVI members to play an active role with the ‘ESG agenda’.
Join us throughout March as we collaborate, share ideas, and explore ways we can go “Beyond ESG” to achieve sustainable development for all.
