Sustainability reporting by companies: making sense of the ‘alphabet soup’,
with David Pitt-Watson (Judge Business School), Janine Guillot (SASB) and
Veronica Poole (Deloitte)

Why you should watch: Investor interest has snowballed in ESG risks – and opportunities – at the companies they fund, mirroring the rise in public attention particularly in climate change. But those seeking to put their money into ‘clean’ companies, or at least those cleaning up, face an ‘alphabet soup’ of guidance and frameworks on carbon emissions, sustainability goals and responsible investment. At last, there is hope of harmonisation and the three speakers are at the forefront of efforts to achieve this.

Moderator: Jane Fuller, CSFI
