Single, Double, or Dynamic? An Exploration of Materiality in ESG Investments

Material ESG concerns such as severe weather events from climate change, supply chain disruption, data privacy and cybersecurity, and more have real-world implications for business and finance. Understanding and assessing a company's material ESG risks alongside its' impact on the environment and society could be an effective strategy to complement your overall investment policy.  As investors worldwide integrate material ESG risk, many geographies mandate a double materiality approach. This webinar will be a robust, cross disciplinary panel that seeks to discuss:   - What do single, double, and dynamic materiality entail, with examples  - Why an investor might need two sets of data  - How varying segments across banks, wealth managers, and asset managers might utilize these approaches in their strategy  - How emerging regulation such as CSRD may impact approaches and strategy    Join us for a thought-provoking roundtable with experts from academia, industry, and financial services on the integration of both Risk and Impact data, a compare and contrast of approaches, and how the advent of regulation such as the CSRD, and improved access to data may change the ESG landscape, enhancing reporting, improve stewardship outcomes, and more.
