General Insurance Spring Conference - ESG: The rise of the underdogs, S and G
Why aren't the S & G routinely focussed on during ESG discussions? Although most firms have embedded economic, social and governance standards, there has been a heavy focus on environment with social and governance being left behind. However, there are so many elements of social and governance that companies should be considering including: - How to integrate social and governance into investment processes- How to create metrics that enable ESG to be at the heart of decision-making to enhance returns- What kind of ESG training might be required and what might audiences look like in this session we will discuss the above ESG considerations and look to provide solutions to these considerations. We will also look at why firms should focus on social and governance standards in the first place, share regulatory updates and potential risks that companies could face if they don't focus on social and governance standards. This will be a high-level interactive live session rather than a technical one. It should be of interest to actuaries of all levels with an interest in social and governance standards including senior actuaries and team leaders who are responsible for ESG and may be asking these same questions.
