Investor Relations & Integration of Sustainability & Investment Strategies

ESG (environmental, social and governance) and sustainable finance and investing are becoming more mainstream as ESG and sustainability-related assets reached around US$41 trillion by the end of 2021 with the asset-management industry earning some US$1.8 billion in fees last year from their sustainable funds, up from almost US$1.1 billion in 2020. In view thereof, more and more investors are scrutinizing the exposure to and management by companies of sustainability issues and how these can impact company valuations.

High performing companies ensure that their investors and other stakeholders in the company, have access to company information that can help them to adequately understand the drivers of, and risks to, long-term financial performance. Investor relations play a critical role in responding to the increasing demand for sustainability information, conveying investor feedback to company management and the board, and addressing any communication gaps. Given this, are corporates well equipped to communicate meaningfully and efficiently with investors on sustainability issues? What is the role of investor relations in the development and execution of the company’s sustainability agenda?

With our distinguished line up of guest speakers, this webinar will discuss important role of IR managers in leading the company’s sustainable communications with financial markets and on the flipside, examine how investors approach ESG investment stewardship and the extent by which they factor in ESG considerations in their investment decisions.
