ESG: Why should pension schemes consider environmental, social and corporate governance factors?

Intermediate session

Date: 13 November 2008 - London

Presenters: Mike Appleby, Neil Brown and Anita Skipper

There is a groundswell of opinion that trustees should be more activist in considering environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues  when making investment decisions. Indeed, since 2000 trustees have been required to disclose the extent to which they take ESG considerations into account. This session considers the key ESG issues and looks at why they merit more consideration than they currently receive.

Suggested entry requirements: no specific requirements
