Venue: Virtual. The state of New York, on December 9, 2020, announced that its pension fund with over $226 billion in assets would divest its oil and gas stocks in companies that, in its view, contribute to global warming. The announcement emphatically highlights how ESG factors (Environmental, Social and Governance) across borders represent business risks but also opportunities for companies, their stockholders, and their other stakeholders. This two-day cutting-edge conference will provide opportunities for in-depth analysis of each of the ‘E’, ‘S’ and ‘G’ elements, including how COVID-19 is accelerating ESG trends. Speakers include: Craig Glidden, General Motors; Tim O’Connor, Environmental Defense Fund; Olga V. Mack, Parley Pro; Ashley Scott, Lime.
