WEBINAR: Sustainability & Social Issues in Governance
Location:
Registration Option:
Today’s investors are becoming more and more interested in how companies are managing business risks as they relate to their impact on the environment and society as a whole. Everyday resources that are a necessity for corporations to sustain themselves are being depleted. The ways companies deal with these risks have become investor issues. Similarly, companies are beginning to consider the business opportunities that come from analyzing sustainability factors in their business. As investor awareness around the interdependence of financial, environmental, and social matters increases, many are incorporating ESG factors into their analysis and buy/hold decisions. As evidenced in the 2016 proxy season and the fact that 41% shareholder proposals involved ESG issues, investors are increasingly interested in environmental and social topics.
Join us for a 60 minute webinar as our panel shares their expert insights from various stakeholder perspectives.
Speakers: Howard Brod Brownstein, President, NACD Philadelphia Chapter Patricia Connolly, Executive Director, Drexel LeBow Center for Corporate Governance Tanuja Dehne, Independent Director, Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp Katayun Jaffari, Partner, Ballard Spahr
