Course Description
ESG investing is a widely discussed topic in sustainability circles, particularly as ESG risks gain equal footing with financial risks. ESG represents a framework for reporting the non-financial performance of companies and other entities. In recent years, ESG reporting has become one of the major factors in how companies and corporations achieve investor and public trust. Investors increasingly make decisions based on objectives for reducing risk, augmenting returns, screening out undesirable investments and generating positive sustainability impacts.
Pressure from stakeholders and investors is combining with increasing regulations to drive an ESG boom, and ESG is increasingly being integrated into enterprise value. Many international agreements and benchmarking organizations and groups are dedicated to increasing ESG action, accountability, reporting and transparency, as well as achieving the prized carbon goal of net zero emissions.
One such group, the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), encourages investment in economic activities that push toward that net zero goal — and, importantly, the alliance works against investment in environmentally unsound assets. If you do not yet know GFANZ or such initialisms as CDP, DJSI, EPRA, GRI, SASB, SDG, UNGC or WBCSD, you will become familiar with them today during our 90-minute virtual seminar.
At UL Solutions, our expertise in ESG matters and reporting helps you sort through the hundreds of emissions factors that are effectively multiplied by the many ways the factors are handled according to where you do business. We help you align your ESG strategies with both established and emerging demands — all with another prized goal in mind: long-term sustainable enterprise value.
