ESG sustainability disclosure Logo for Sustainable Finance Week, abbreviated SFW
Attend the fifth annual SASB Symposium on November 30 and December 1, 2020, a premiere forum to discuss the future of sustainability disclosure for the capital markets. This year, the Symposium will be held as a dynamic virtual convening consisting of a half-day live program, interactive workshops, and an on-demand content library. Via this virtual symposium, we hope to bring together even more market participants from across the globe with unique and varied perspectives on sustainability disclosure.
Conversations around the financial materiality of sustainability information and its relevance to the capital markets are taking place across the globe. The SASB Symposium is an intellectual forum where stakeholders – and skeptics – can debate and discuss evolving thinking around sustainability disclosure. Join companies, institutional investors (both asset owners and asset managers), and advisors to discuss how material sustainability factors impact value, how to use sustainability information to inform corporate strategies and investor decision-making, and how a unified comprehensive system for corporate disclosure can come to fruition.
This event would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors below. Let us know if your organization would be interested in sponsoring the Symposium.
