The Green Team Network is a forum for connecting and empowering change towards a sustainable environment within the Irish Funds and indeed broader Financial Services industry. The Green Team Network facilitates the connection of firms and staff to enable knowledge sharing across the industry and support the implementation of collective campaigns.
As the network grows and the collective communication and conversation evolves, we hope that together we can use our influence for even more impactful change … one voice instead of multiple. The provision of resources to help our members, be they individuals or corporates, to upskill in the area of sustainability and ESG, is core to what we do.
For this reason, we are delighted to partner with the IOB in providing this educational webinar.
During this online event we will look at:
• Responsible Investment & ESG: the foundations
• What are the main ESG investment approaches and what is meant by ESG integration?
• ESG in terms of Equity Investment
• ESG in terms of Fixed Interest Investment
• ESG in terms of Other Asset Types Many understand at least to some degree how ESG applies in relation to equity investment, but how the factors apply across the other asset classes is less widely understood.
We have organised a strong panel of speakers from the asset management community who will explain these well and clearly, with useful examples.
