Responsible Investment Summit

31 stycznia w Brukseli odbędzie się konferencja „Responsible Investment Summit” organizowana przez EVCA i CSR Europe.

Responsible investment. Window dressing? Reputation management? Sound investment strategy? Whatever the answer is, it is here to stay and now is the time to fully understand the implications it may have on manager selection, professional standards, investment activity, fund raising, portfolio management and of course, returns.

External factors apply here too and Europe’s policy makers are becoming more active in shaping their vision of smart and sustainable growth throughout Europe in the years to come. Gaining insight and understanding the drivers for change is key for planning long term strategies that will help steer our industry towards these goals.

The Responsible Investment Summit will tackle the bigger picture, assessing to what extent our industry is set to meet both political and investor demands for clear governance, quantifiable reporting and sound environmental and social practices. The Summit wil explore strategies and best practice through a series of practical Real Life Impact examples.

Through keynotes, panels and case studies the Summit will consider:

• The International investor perspective: How crucial is it for a manager to demonstrate ‘responsible’ credentials
• The 2020 Company: Shaping the future
• Reporting: Keeping score and meeting expectations
• ‘ESG’ in reality:
• Real World Impact – Identifying and building value through sound environmental practice
• Real World Impact – Measuring the social impact of responsible investment strategies
• Real World Impact – Why governance matters when building consensus for clear direction
