Overview
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is not only becoming more relevant in the financial sector in terms of risks, opportunities and reporting but is also gaining more traction in terms of operating sustainable businesses for better economic performance.
In the ESG ecosystem, financial institutes drive investments and lead financial expertise in both private and public sectors and are, therefore, in charge of identifying opportunities and factors in ESG considerations in their operating models.
With ESG gaining more momentum, professionals in banking and finance feel the need to understand concepts better to drive sound decisions for their own organisations and businesses.
