ESG investing: Exploring current opportunities, emerging trends, and global regulations Tuesday, October 20, 2020 at 12:00 PM (ET) Watch now and earn CE credits Brought to you by While responsible investing has been gaining traction among institutional investors for many years, individual investors and advisors continue to cite their unfamiliarity with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors as a major impediment to adoption. One of the critical evolutions in responsible investing has been the move away from the practice of simply excluding a company’s securities because they fail to meet ESG criteria.
