Webinar series: Sustainable finance for journalists
Session one: Understanding the anti-ESG backlash
It’s easy to dismiss the current anti-ESG backlash as ideological rhetoric. But its impact is real – and far-reaching. As political debate intensifies and regulatory challenges emerge, businesses and investors are being forced to rethink their strategies.
For journalists covering current events, a robust understanding of the forces driving this backlash is crucial. This webinar gives you the insight to make sense of the anti-ESG movement and analyse its implications.
This webinar series is for journalists who want to deepen their understanding of the complex world of sustainable finance.
Our first session is on the rising anti-ESG movement. We’ll dive into the origins of the movement, its key players – and implications for businesses, investors and policymakers. And we’ll look to the future, exploring how ESG strategies could emerge stronger in ways that benefit financial markets and corporate resilience.
Through expert discussion, you’ll gain even deeper knowledge and context to inform your reporting.
