Course Materials: Sustainability Investing Shift

Sustainability reports are becoming the norm. But the key to drafting them are ensuring they are "meaningful," both to investors & other constituents. This program will tackle why it's important to get a handle on this area, as well as a "how to" list of things you should be aware of when drafting.

Join our experts:

• Lou Coppola, Partner & EVP, Governance & Accountability Institute
• Kate Kelly, VP, Associate General Counsel & Corporate Secretary, Bristol-Myers Squibb
• Pam Styles, Principal & Founder, Next Level Investor Relations

Among other topics, this program will cover:

• What are investors looking for in a sustainability report?
• What are the various frameworks - eg. GRI/SASB/IIRC - to be aware of? And how to decide which ones to take into account (and which ones to not)?
• What is the board's role in this? Which board committee is responsible?
• What are the steps in drafting a sustainability report? Does size matter?
