Webinar on 11th June 2020, 10–11.45 CEST
Following the awareness of environmental limits to human actions, and EU’s sustainable finance developments, attention is now directed to the need for reliable and comparable ESG data as the key to driving forward the sustainable transition. This need is apparent in the financial sector, but also of key importance to other stakeholders in the society, such as corporates, policymakers and the academic community.
MEP Sirpa Pietikäinen hosts a webinar with Hanken School of Economics, Finance Finland, Finance Denmark and Finance Norway to discuss the current availability of ESG data and ideas to make it more accessible and usable for e.g. financers, policy makers, researchers and many more.
Our keynote speaker is Mr Martin Spolc, Head of Unit DG FISMA, European Commission.
Join us for this webinar on Thursday 11th June.
