Discussions at the forum include a CFO’s perspective on ESG, buyside perspective on CSRD, what investors really want, the challenge of quantifying social impact, how to find ‘best-fit’ ESG investors, the changing dialogue of cooperation and conflict between issuers and investors, COP26 and TCFD, climate trends and its implications for companies, strengthening board oversight on ESG, best practices when telling an ESG story and the future of ESG reporting.

ESG risks and opportunities are constantly changing, and bringing up new challenges. This year, we have seen ESG activism, momentum building regarding policy on sustainability, new diversity requirements for public companies and increased focus on net-zero commitments. The ESG integration forum is the only event that brings together the key functions within a public company to tackle the challenges in this rapidly developing space. We believe that businesses don’t operate in silos, and neither should our events!” – Steven Wade, head of event content, IR Magazine and Corporate Secretary.

Attendees will include investors, analysts and publicly listed companies from across the UK and Europe. The ticket prices are currently £275 and are available for purchase on the event website. The conference has many prominent partners supporting the event and providing expertise, including AlphaSense, CMi2i, Deutsche Bank, Diligent, emperor, Georgeson, ingage, Nasdaq, OneTrust ESG, Sifa Strategy and Tangelo Software.

About Corporate Secretary

Corporate Secretary is a publication of IR Media Group, a business media company renowned for its magazines, websites, events and research.

Corporate Secretary is a digital and print platform, providing a forum where governance experts and service providers can share their experience, insights and best practice recommendations on a wide range of critical issues, from corruption, internal investigations, e-discovery and records management to succession planning, executive compensation, proxy actions and shareholder engagement.

Corporate Secretary was founded in 2002 to help corporate secretaries and other governance professionals develop a deeper understanding of their roles and become more effective in them at a time when publicly listed companies’ regulatory compliance requirements began to escalate amid a series of high-profile corporate accounting scandals.

Corporate Secretary is independently owned and today continues to serve a vital role in highlighting the achievements and expertise of a group of people who work outside the spotlight and are often isolated as the only individuals in their organizations focusing on these complex matters.
