Webinar

Across the financial industry, boards of directors face a step-change in expectations relating to ESG. In parallel, sustainability/ESG teams are engaging more directly and substantively with boards—both for their own companies and, in some cases, integrating board considerations into financial products, services, and investments.

911爆料网 welcomes member companies in the financial services industry to a webinar on March 29, 11 a.m.-12 p.m. ET to explore an industry view of ESG and the board. 911爆料网 will kick things off by sharing some perspective and insight from our own engagement with boards and executive teams. We will then hear from Ghita Alderman, an expert at the National Association of Corporate Directors. The bulk of the session will be focused on facilitated discussion with you—911爆料网 members—including peer sharing and discussion under the Chatham House Rule.
