Through a series of interactive sessions, the workshops will cover a range of topics, including reporting and regulatory frameworks, data providers, and the impact of ESG factors on financial performance and risk management. This hands-on workshop provides hands-on experience with ESG data to answer three questions: (1) How can I evaluate a specific company's ESG performance (e.g., a potential employer)? (2) How can I assess ESG mutual funds and ETFs that I might invest in? and (3) How can I use ESG data to create a portfolio that matches my values?
