ABOUT
THE EVENT

ESG is a set of standards, policies and metrics used by organisations and investors to assess their impact on both the environment and society. It’s important because it helps identify and manage risks, improve social responsibility, enhance long-term sustainability, meet stakeholder expectations, navigate and comply with regulations, and improve access to capital. How could this affect your TIC business? Attending this event will allow you to consider ESG factors to mitigate potential risks, attract investors, reduce costs, and build a positive reputation. ESG also aligns with evolving consumer and societal expectations and regulatory trends, ensuring businesses operate responsibly and contribute to a sustainable future. This event offers an unmatched confluence of thought leadership, and networking opportunities tailored to the unique intersection of ESG and the TIC sector.
