SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Terrence Keeley on Sustainable: Moving Beyond ESG to Impact Investing
DESCRIPTION:A co-sponsored event\, presented by CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe global economy is at a crossroads. Can finance fix it? Proponents of environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) investing say yes. They claim that new financial strategies that consider all stakeholders are essential tools for addressing runaway carbon emissions and stark income inequality\, among other ills. ESG-integrated investments already encompass more than $120 trillion in financial assets. Is this approach really leading to better social and environmental outcomes for all? If not\, how can it be improved? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Sustainable\, a finance industry veteran offers an insider’s look at the promises\, prospects\, and limitations of ESG investing and provides comprehensive solutions that would promote more optimal outcomes. Terrence Keeley argues that both activist and C-suite advocates have been overly optimistic about what ESG can accomplish. Divestment threats are ineffective tools for altering corporate behavior\, and verifiably “good” companies do not systematically generate great returns. Most importantly\, business and finance cannot achieve inclusive\, sustainable growth on their own: Regulators\, public policies\, civil society\, and individuals must all play specific\, complementary roles to shape the future we need. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCopies of Sustainable: Moving Beyond ESG to Impact Investing will be raffled off to attendees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by CFANewYork\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News. He brings 25 years of experience in corporate strategy\, media\, fintech\, and communications\, including 15 years specializing in news and journalism. Matt was recognized by the United Nations as #3 of the “Top 10 Most Influential Media Executives for Impact” in 2015 during the launch of the UN SDGs.\nHe has advised the Sustainable Stock Exchange initiative (SSEI)\, UNCTAD\, and the UN\, and hosts event coverage at the World Economic Forum\, ADFW\, Climate Week NYC\, EU Parliament\, COP\, the Vatican\, NASDAQ\, NYSE\, and more. Matt is a founding board member of the Humanity 2.0 Foundation\, a Vatican-based NGO focused on identifying and removing impediments to human flourishing.\nHe previously rang the NASDAQ Closing Bell in honor of his partnership with NASDAQ OMX to launch the world’s first retail investor targeting and newswire monitoring platform with the NASDAQ Financial Services Group. Matt launched ESG News in 2021\, leading coverage of more than 10\,000 news stories as of 2026—and truly loves what he does. \nesgnews.com

SUMMARY:ESG Integration Forum Europe 2022
DESCRIPTION:CHALLENGING ESG\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegulators in Europe continue to develop regulations that impact sustainable finance\, ESG reporters\, and ESG raters. However\, a section of the investment universe is becoming more vocal regarding their opposition to the ESG movement. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt the ESG Integration Forum – Europe 2022\, you will join sustainability professionals\, investor relations officers\, and corporate secretaries to examine future investor expectations of company ESG performance and sustainability reporting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“ESG risks and opportunities are constantly changing and bringing up new challenges. In the last 12 months\, we have seen ESG activism\, momentum building regarding policy on sustainability\, new diversity requirements for public companies and increased focus on net-zero commitments. The ESG integration forum was the only event that brought together the key functions within a public company to tackle the challenges in this rapidly developing space. We believe that businesses don’t operate in silos\, and neither should our events!” \nSteven Wade\, head of event content\, Corporate Secretary and IR Magazine.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://twitter.com/IRMagazine\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:The Global Green Finance Leadership Program 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Global Green Finance Leadership Program (GFLP) provides a platform for an in-depth regional dialogue on best practices\, inspiring innovations\, and the challenges of scaling-up sustainable finance. It builds on the global momentum created by United Nations Climate Change Conferences\, COP27\, and the G20 Leaders’ Summit\, both taking place earlier in November 2022. The Program was launched by the Beijing’s Institute of Finance and Sustainability (BIFS) in collaboration with a few other China-based and international institutions in May 2018. Speakers are from diverse backgrounds and roles in the global financial sector community\, representing countries in the region and more advanced economies. Participants in the previous editions of the GFLP were representatives from the international financial community\, governments and regulatory authorities\, academia\, the private sector\, and the development community more broadly.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe World Bank Group Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Finance Hub in Malaysia will partner with BIFS to host the upcoming GFLP 2022 in Malaysia. Going with the theme\, “Scaling-up Sustainable Finance in South-East Asia\,” the main feature of this year’s GFLP is the launch of a Flagship Report on Sustainable Finance in Southeast Asia. The Program will build on the Flagship Report’s main findings and provide a platform for a discussion of a wide range of topics\, from the challenges of developing the enabling policy environment for developing financial markets for sustainability in developing countries to innovative sustainable financial instruments and the role of the financial sector in helping firms and households build stronger resilience to climate-related and other environmental physical and transition risks.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by WorldBank\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
