Session information
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) and activism: are shareholders championing or hijacking the ESG message?
Tuesday 19 October (0900 - 1000)
Description
Shareholder activism and ESG are at the forefront of board agendas, shareholder focus and the headlines of the financial press. This panel will discuss the factors that have brought these two trends to the fore, examine convergences and divergences between them and consider whether they are two sides of the same coin or something else. We will also consider the roles of lawyers, regulators and courts in relation to these matters.
