Attendees are eligible to receive up to 7 CPE credits.

The sessions will cover topics designed to answer the most top-of-mind questions for finance professionals right now including how to get started with ESG, how to work with data, effective methods for approaching the frameworks, how investors and ratings agencies use ESG information, and how to work with other professionals to quantify and communicate an organization’s exposure to climate risk.

“In recent months we have seen a call to action from investors, regulators, and customers to increase ESG reporting,” said Andrej Suskavcevic, CAE, President and CEO of FEI and FERF. “Our ESG Ecosystem: Macro Perspectives Conference provides financial professionals with the insight and tools necessary to help them increase their acumen and accelerate their ESG reporting efforts within their respective organizations.”

Representatives from Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), IFRS Foundation, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Morgan Stanley, Neuberger Berman, Sustainalytics, Moody’s Corporation, Deloitte & Touche, LLP, EY, KPMG and PwC US are among other notable organizations exploring the most top of mind issues and sharing practical, high-level insights as it pertains to integrating ESG topics into finance.

The second event in the series, ESG Ecosystem: Micro Perspectives Conference, scheduled in Spring 2022, will advance the conversation from Macro Perspectives, and feature in-depth conversations designed to provide finance professionals with deeper insights as they advance in their ESG reporting journey.
