Summary

As the momentum around ESG continues to grow, so does the challenge of keeping up to date with increasing regulatory and market demands.

At the ESG Summit, we convene the nation's top corporate leaders and sustainability professionals to explore recent developments in the fast-moving ESG landscape. ESG is not only a moral obligation but also a strategic imperative with far-reaching benefits. ESG is now a very influential area of practice, and impacts on all areas of corporate activity.

Many organisations are both failing to assess ESG risks, and failing to maximise the benefits which can flow from ESG leadership. This conference will give you the knowledge you need to turn ESG risks into ESG opportunities and capitalise on the benefits that this fast moving field offers.

  • ESG specialists
