With the new Biden administration, rejoining the Paris Climate Accords, concerns about global warming, heightening extreme weather, and more, how a company approaches Environmental, Social, & Governance (ESG) aspects of business is becoming more and more important to the savvy investor. A responsible and sustainable company policy is good for business, for employees, for communities, for the planet, and for investable insights.

Whether you want to reduce your company's carbon footprint, research how climate change patterns affect your investments, or investigate the efficiency of new electric vehicle batteries, ESG and sustainability should play a role in every investor's due diligence arsenal.

For this iteration of Virtual Discovery Day, we analyzed all things ESG. 

THIS EVENT OCCURRED ON MARCH 9th - 10th, 2021.
