5..jpg

EVENT POSTPONED DUE TO COVID-19

The number of institutional investors focused on impact investing is increasing the demand for data that will help them measure the environmental, social and governance factors (ESG). The overall availability and quality of ESG data have grown in recent years and ESG investing has gathered significant momentum, following the Paris Agreement on climate, the publication of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In 2018, more than $30 trillion was invested in ESG assets. A 34% increase compared to 2016, according to a report by the Global Sustainable Investing Alliance.

Sophisticated artificial intelligence is needed to learn and infer context. As a result, this type of big data analysis is quickly becoming the future of investing. But just how sophisticated are these tools in evaluating non-financial performance? How can companies better prepare their disclosure to be captured effectively? This workshop will gather experts, investors and companies to analyse the use of big data in evaluating corporate non-financial performance.

Join the workshop to:

  • Discuss current challenges in the use of Big data tools in measuring non-financial performance

  • Identify best practices

  • Define next steps to tackle the areas that need immediate intervention

Who should join?

  • Investors and Finance sector professionals
