ESG Summit 2024: Analysis of the ESG landscape, regulatory impacts & strategic opportunities for board members, company secretaries & governance professionals.

As the momentum around ESG continues to grow, so does the challenge of keeping up to date with increasing regulatory and market demands. Board Agenda is delighted to be a partner to the ESG Summit, convened by the Chartered Governance Institute, where top corporate leaders and sustainability professionals will explore recent developments in the fast-moving ESG landscape.

ESG has become a strategic imperative which can impact on a broad range of corporate activities, with the potential to deliver far-reaching benefits.

Research shows many organisations are both failing to assess ESG risks, or to maximise the benefits which can flow from effective ESG leadership. This conference will give you the knowledge you need to effectively navigate ESG risks and capitalise on the strategic opportunities this fast moving field offers.

There will be hosted panel discussions, peer exchanges, top speakers, including leading governance & ESG experts.
