ESG Spring Summit 2024

Sustainable priorities and practices for business today and tomorrow

 

ESG has been growing the past few years alongside the rising awareness of climate change, but heading into 2024 there have been even more new ESG trends for everyone to remain mindful of, especially for companies seeking to implement greater sustainability practices.

Now that we have taken the first steps in mandatory reporting (the CSRD) there will be increased stakeholder scrutiny as boards must respond to action demanded by consumers, investors, employees and regulators. While many reporting and disclosure requirements are not mandatory yet, minimum expectations for sustainability reporting have now been set.

As the momentum around ESG continues to grow, so does the challenge of keeping up to date with increasing regulatory and market demands. ESG factors are becoming a common way to measure a company’s efforts toward sustainability, so paying attention to ESG trends is important for businesses that want to find long-term success.

At our Autumn ESG Summit 2024 on 20th November, we’ll review the latest ESG trends, why they are important and what your company should look out for this year and beyond. Our event will showcase cutting-edge technologies, share real-world best practices and game-changing strategies to empower attendees to create a reliable, data-driven foundation for achieving ESG goals.
