SUMMARY:Hot topics: Environmental\, social and governance (ESG)
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, a consensus has emerged among investors\, s
 hareholders\, financiers\, customers\, and other stakeholders that corpo
 rations\, and businesses in general\, should bear the responsibility of 
 trying to solve the problems that the world faces. These include climate
  change\, slavery\, human trafficking\, and human rights’ crises\, along
 side more workplace-based issues\, such as promoting a healthier\, balan
 ced\, and inclusive working environment. There is a rising expectation f
 rom stakeholders that corporations should integrate these Environmental\
 , Social and Governance (ESG) factors into their business strategy and a
 re willing to reward or punish corporations accordingly. Such methods of
  encouragement include impact investment\, sustainable fi nance\, consum
 er boycotts or even refusing further investments in fi rms that do not f
 ollow the ESG criteria. Similarly\, companies are increasingly required 
 to identify\, manage\, and disclose their ESG risks and initiatives to i
 nvestors and regulators.\n\nThe panel will explore the current topics in
  ESG compliance and will share insights into how investment and financin
 g decisions are made\, and how they prepare to seize the opportunities t
 his trend brings from their respective businesses.\n
