Closing the Diversity Gap | Practical Tools & Insights for Investors
Beyond the obvious association with the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 will also be remembered as the year which put a powerful spotlight on the “S” in the ESG investing acronym. Events in the U.S., which rapidly spilled into Canada and beyond, have sparked a global conversation about the need for companies and investors alike to take bold steps towards closing the diversity gap. ISS ESG has engaged in the conversation by driving a highly publicized initiative urging U.S. companies to disclose the ethnicity of directors and senior executives. Although many recent headlines have focused on ethnic diversity, a holistic understanding of diversity is required to successfully manage the associated risks and opportunities.
Join Investor Economics, ISS ESG, and distinguished guests for a highly interactive webinar on the practical tools and insights available to investors who want to take steps towards closing the diversity gap. *A full agenda and speaker list will be provided closer to the date.
