PIMFA Webinar: Webinar Wednesday Ep. 7 – COVID-19 & ESG Investing

In this episode, PIMFA senior policy analysts Des FitzGerald & Maja Erceg will discuss the impact on ESG investing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Has COVID-19 resulted in permanent changes to our behaviours and what we value. Will there be a flock to the high street or a demand government takes firmer action on building a sustainable economy? Will we care what celebrities are doing? What banana skins do firms needs to watch out for when dealing with the challenges of COVID-19? And, what’s important when rebuilding the economy?

What will be discussed?

The webinar will consider the approach to ESG investing in light of the impact of COVID-19, looking in particular at:

• Growing data that ESG weighted holdings have the capacity to perform better than those with low ESG weighting
• Impacts on staffing and other stakeholders
• AGM’s and transparency
• Allocating capital
• Regulatory convergence
• and more.

Got a Question?

There will, as usual, be an opportunity to ask questions during the webinar.
