“The annual conference brings together experts and thought
leaders from industry, academia, government and nonprofits to tackle the latest
environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues that present both
challenges and opportunities for investors,” RIA said in a news
release.
The conference, the flagship event of the inaugural Responsible
Investment Week, will feature responsible investment presentations, panel
discussions and workshops, including a plenary session on fossil fuels: “Carbon
Constraints and Investment Strategy,” hosted by ESG academic Cary Krosinsky, as
well as a workshop on climate change, led by Heather Lang of Sustainalytics.
Federal MP Chrystia Freeland will kick off the conference
with a plenary session on income inequality: “The Global Super-Rich and the New
Economy: Implications for Investors,” while a senior executive from Loblaw will
take part in a panel discussion on safety in the supply chain.
