The sustainability nexus between investors and the companies they own has never been under more scrutiny.

Post financial crisis, governments and financial markets are seeking a positive relationship between long-term investment and corporate growth based around durable returns that account for increasingly important environmental, social and governance factors.

ESG Europe brings together some of the worlds biggest investors, corporates, regulators and market intermediaries to chart out where the developments on sustainable finance are heading.

It is a unique opportunity to listen to and speak with the major actors in this exciting and transformational field.

Highlights include top level discussions on:

• Integrated financial / non-financial reporting.
• The EU Green Paper on Corporate Governance.
• The EU multi-stakeholder initiative on sustainability.
• The rise of shareholder voting and engagement: bridging the gap between shareholders and corporates.
• Ruggie and corporate human rights responsibilities.
• Impact investing.
• Investors working with governments on environmental finance.
