Emergency Prep for the Coming Sustainability Storm: A Wake-Up Call for C-Suite Leaders

Thursday, October 8, 4pm - 4:30 pm Eastern

SSC President Jennifer Woofter has been working in sustainability for more than 20 years — both on the investing/asset manager side and the consultancy side.

She's seen the trends come and go, but is noting a MASSIVE SEA CHANGE in the financial sector's approach to sustainability — and especially in regard to climate change. Blackrock, MSCI, SNBC, ISS, SASB, TCFD -- all of the financial organizations are harmonizing and doubling-down on sustainability.

Perhaps you saw the recent article from Reuters, “Climate change poses systemic risk, [Federal] CFTC advisory panel says.” In a nutshell:

Climate change poses a “slow motion” systemic threat to the stability of the U.S. financial system and requires urgent action from financial regulators, including the Federal Reserve and the Securities Exchange Commission. That is one of the findings of a landmark report here by a U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission advisory panel.

Jennifer is hosting a brief, 30-minute webinar on October 8 at 4pm EST to:

Review the most important financial sector announcements on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues since the COVID-19 pandemic began six months ago.
Discuss what companies can do in the next 180 days to face these challenges head on and get ahead of the curve.

We will not be recording this session or making the slides available afterwards, so please plan to attend live.
