Environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing

ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investering eller "bærekraftig investering" er en investeringsstrategi som i større grad fokuserer på den langsiktige innvirkningen på miljøet og samfunnet, og i mindre grad på avkastning. ESG-konferansen på BI vil tiltrekke foredragsholdere fra biologi, klimaforskning, miljøinnovasjon, styring, politikk og regulering, finans og selskaper som leder an i ESG-teknologi. Arrangementet vil samle innovatører, investorer, beslutningstakere og forskere ved Handelshøyskolen BI for å starte en debatt og innlede et tettere samarbeid mellom beslutningstakere og interessenter.
