Webinar
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Severe economic stress is testing the strategies and business models of public companies across the world in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Investor relations and ESG have never been more important than today, with market valuations depressed and capital becoming tantamount to survival for many corporations. But successfully combining the two disciplines is complex and challenging, even under optimal market conditions.
Our webinar offers deep and practical insights from the architect of the highest-rated corporate ESG program in the U.S. and from the co-founder of BlackRock’s Investment Stewardship and Sustainable Investing teams. They will explain how to effectively integrate ESG and investor relations, from setting strategy to day-to-day program execution, in order to satisfy the rapidly evolving and diverse ESG information requirements of the global investment community.
Importantly, their perspectives come from the corporate and investor sides, providing a comprehensive view on how to achieve best practices. Investor relations firms facilitate the dialog between companies and the capital markets, so InspIR Group’s co-founder, Fabiane Goldstein, will also serve as an expert speaker. She is behind award-winning sustainability and integrated reports of some of Brazil’s leading companies.
Whether you are contemplating an ESG program or wanting to understand market-leading reporting practices for an existing one, this webinar will be highly informative, with an emphasis on real-world examples that illustrate how to effectively integrate ESG and investor relations in support of your company’s market valuation and ability to access capital during today’s challenging times.
