ESG data – the capital in the sustainable transition

Webinar on 11th June 2020, 11-12.45  (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

Hanken School of Economics, Finance Finland, Finance Denmark host a webinar with Sirpa Pietikäinen, Member of the European Parliament, to discuss the current availability of ESG data and ideas to make it more accessible and usable for financers, policy makers, researchers and many more. The environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria are a set of standards applied to a company’s operations that help to evaluate the company’s overall performance and health.
