Introducing The ESG Show Summit

ESG strikes back

ESG is the dock, and the ESG community needs to come out fighting. We can't wish climate change away. The need for ESG is greater than ever.

There are other issues, too — AI is a force for good; it is also a force for bad. Humanity needs this force, as it were, 'to be with you,' and indeed all of humanity.

Business has to act responsibly— good governance is a matter of survival. Good ESG is good business; it is good for reputation, it is good for business profits.

The ESG Show has been fighting the good fight, encouraging discussion within the ESG community- flying the metaphorical ESG flag.

Now it is time for our 60th. It will be special — we are running an all-day summit — broadcast online but from a studio with many of our speakers coming into the studio:

We are discussing:

• Compliance, the Omnibus packages, the supply chain and resilience versus protectionism.
• Communicating ESG and climate change
• Greenwashing
• Leadership
• Myths and legends of ESG and climate change — including how realistic is 100% renewables
• Social risk
• ESG investing
• AI and ESG, how AI can support the fight against climate change, how we can ensure AI is a force for good
• Sustainable real estate
• Beyond ESG
• And there will be a debate between two internationally famous economics professors with quite different views on a topic that affects us all.
