Sustainable investment and all that it encompasses, from ESG to SRI to SDGs, is the topic du jour – and with good reason as the investment landscape continues to evolve rapidly to more fully incorporate sustainability objectives.
In this year’s virtual edition of our annual Qontigo Investment Intelligence Summit, you’ll benefit from a more focused agenda on both the policy and regulatory drivers of this evolution along with the practical applications of integrating these considerations across your investing and risk management workflows.
Join us as we (virtually) bring together industry experts, practitioners and policymakers for a mix of thought-provoking discussions and presentations.
