COVID-19 has been characterised as an unprecedented "stress test" of Corporate Social Responsibility. Alongside the pressure placed on companies as a result of the lock-down practices worldwide, the pandemic has driven a dynamic market debate on ESG integration in investment practices.

In this webinar, Vigeo Eiris alongside its German partner Imug - Rating will talk about how corporates and investors have been impacted by and reacted to COVID-19. We will talk through how it has re-positioned the spotlight on social risks and breathed new energy into the Sustainable Development Goals as a framework for corporate and investor action.

Topics include:
  • VE's controversy heatmap: since the start of the crisis, what kinds of ESG controversies do we see impacting companies?
  • Best practices: what have been some of the standout practices in terms of ESG risk management and stakeholder relations? 
  • Coalitions: how have corporates and investors worked together in order to put forward pathways out of the crisis?
  • Post Lockdown: as the lockdown ends and we return to a new "normal" what kinds of ESG risks appear to be on the horizon? and where do we see concerns in terms of sustainability risk?

Speakers:
  • Anna Zubets-Anderson, Vice President | Moody's (Moderator)
  • Keeran Gwilliam Beeharee, Executive Director | Vigeo Eiris
  • Jordi Lesaffer, Head of Controversy Risk Assessments | Vigeo Eiris
  • Frieder Olfe, Sustainable Finance Consultant | Imug Rating
