The future of ESG is about right-sizing 

London | 27 September 2023

The future of ESG is about right-sizing 

Part one, held in Sydney, covered the ESG story so far: its uninterrupted growth as a factor in the investment mix since its early days almost two decades ago; its most recent identity crisis; and what some commentaries suggest could be its retreat. One thing remains clear, executing sustainability impact is a primary industry goal and ESG activities are still the best route for achieving it, despite its limitations. We continued this same theme in London, diving deeper into possible pathways for the future of ESG and considered how organisations can ‘right-size’ their ESG ambitions to align with business strategy. 

On Wednesday 27th September, members engaged with us on how to develop a coherent and compelling narrative on where next for sustainability and ESG. Thank you to all who attended, your contribution was appreciated.
