ESG USA 2011 marks the third year in a row that Responsible-Investor.com will bring top-level speakers from asset owners, asset managers and advisors together for targeted, practical debate on pertinent themes of sustainable and responsible investment in the US and beyond.
This year’s event could not be more relevant.
As the financial crisis continues, investors and governments are looking for win-win partnerships to promote sustainable economic growth. At the same time, investors are increasingly seeing that well managed, sustainability oriented, careful companies are proving to be the winners in the economic fallout after a glut of short-termism.
ESG is not just ethics: it’s good risk and return investing. While many companies are improving their sustainability strategies and relationships with investors (and we will hear from them) the push-back from some corporates has been disappointing.
And we still face crippling inertia in attempts to combat climate change, despite the significant development of the technologies that will be the energy resources and investment winners of tomorrow. As a result, investors in the US and elsewhere are seeking to collaborate ever further on environmental, social and governance issues.
Investment based on sound ESG principles is gaining serious ground. Investors and corporates need to be aware of the latest trends and challenges.
ESG USA is the forum for that discussion.
ESG USA is presented free of charge.
Due to expected high demand, we will limit each company to only one representative which means that we may, regretfully, have to refuse some registrations
