📚 GPC's 26th Annual Corporate Governance Conference 📅 August 25-27, 2024 📍Whistler, BC ➡️ REGISTER HERE: https://lnkd.in/gKmaPD2m FEATURED SESSION: The State of ESG: Regulation, Implementation, and Trends Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) principles have become mainstream expectations but what ESG means can vary in importance across different sectors. A rapid acceleration of ESG prominence in past years has shifted the baseline in terms of expectations from investors, creditors, consumers, government, employees, Indigenous rightsholders, environmental and other stakeholders. As a tool, ESG is used to assess an organization’s behaviour and evaluate its performance based on risks and opportunities. This expert panel will provide an overview of the changing landscape in ESG amidst global and domestic risks, including a discussion on evolving corporate law and regulation, international trends, and potential blind spots in the ESG lens that governance professionals may want to ensure are priorities for their organization. Speakers: Christie Stephenson, ICD.D, Carol Liao, Shona McGlashan FCG GPC.D, Geordie H. This conference is HYBRID! Unable to attend in-person?

I’m very much looking forward to welcoming the International Corporate Governance Network to our IFC headquarters next week for their conference of corporate governance and investment stewardship professionals. Together, we will do a deep dive into the importance of effective, impactful corporate governance. As the global community faces considerable environmental, economic, and social challenges, I believe corporate governance can move the needle on sustainable and inclusive private sector-led development in emerging markets. I welcome the opportunity to get the conversation started by sharing some reflections on the first day of the conference. https://lnkd.in/eVWgYRe6 Kerrie Waring

Last week in New York, I attended the conference "ESG: the role of lawyers today and in the future" organized by the International Bar Association (IBA North American Regional Forum and the SEERIL team). The conference explored the complexity of the ESG agenda in various jurisdictions and sectors of the economy, as well as the relevant role of lawyers in advising clients and adopting ESG principles in their own firms. Interesting insights and great networking. #ESG #environmentallaw #SDG
