Tune in next Tuesday, July 23 at 10:00 am Central Time for the live webcast “ESG Investing Today: The Reality for Investors and Portfolio Companies.” The PracticalESG.com blog notes:

ESG investing isn’t new, but it is in a new world right now with unprecedented regulatory, financial, macroeconomic and geopolitical dynamics. Both investors and their holdings struggle to keep up with these changes while meeting competing priorities and facing oscillations in strategies.

Nawar Alsaadi, CEO and founder of Kanata Advisors and Marie-Josée Privyk, Founder and ESG Advisor of FinComm Services, will take these matters head-on to help both sides stay focused on what is important rather than running down distractions.

Topics to be covered include:

– Defining “ESG investing” today, especially in relation/contrast to impact investing
– Current investor trends: information needs, decision criteria, engagement v. divestment, use of ESG ratings, impact of naming rules
– Portfolio companies: responding to investors, emphasizing business fundamentals
– Implications of investor dissatisfaction/divestment: does divestment really hurt portfolio companies?
