Sustainable Investing: Hype or Opportunity?
The conference program brings cutting-edge research in the field of socially responsible investing, and also investigates the field's investment opportunities. To achieve these goals, the SQA has gathered leading experts from the U.S., Europe and Australia. The agenda will cover climate change risk, alternative energy, ESG investing, carbon emission pricing, ethical asset management, and more. The conference agenda is not meant to promote any particular investment style. The event is meant to be an educational venue where dialogue/debate will be fostered, with the hope to learn from recent research and industry experience.
