ESG in Emerging Markets: London - Date TBC
 
Aligning EM strategies with the UK’s sustainability agenda 

Regulatory  pressures and growing support for TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure) reporting to become mandatory from 2022 are compelling UK institutional investors to take action on ESG and climate change. 

This workshop will help investors navigate the options and approaches available to manage ESG risks, promote best practice and source responsible investment options across emerging markets.
