ESG in Emerging Markets: Paris - 15th October 2019
 
Leveraging the French ESG experience 

Thanks to Article 173, French institutional investors are, in many ways, leading the way on ESG. However, integrating ESG portfolios and finding sustainable investment opportunities in emerging markets remains a challenge for even the most seasoned responsible investors. 

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