21st century businesses and investors face a broadening and deepening array of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) risks and opportunities.

We will examine current ESG strategy, trends, future scenarios, players, and frameworks and integrate that theory with practical investment performance analysis, metrics, and study of screens, asset classes, and diversification.
