A complimentary webinar for investment professionals

Interest in ESG investments continues to grow as the number of indexed ESG assets more than doubled from 2018 to 2019. What's still under discovery is the role data can play. In other words, as investors and corporates continue to fine-tune their focus on financial and environmental performance, how can data inform decision-making and provide greater transparency?
