New Format, Same Great Insights 

We are excited to share with you the revamped ESG in Conversation! In this new format, we’re expanding the focus beyond sustainable finance to share the latest environmental, social and corporate governance insights. In addition to highlighting recent research from our global team of ESG experts, we will continue to bring you deep dives into the ESG, climate, impact, sustainable finance and regulatory insights you need to know about. 

In this episode you’ll learn about the upcoming greenhouse gas reporting requirements for companies in North America, the implications of Europe’s policy response to the climate crisis, the Fit for 55 package, and what it means for companies that supply goods and services in the EU.    

Also, Morningstar’s Arthur Carabia discusses what the recently published International Sustainability Standards Boards reporting standards mean for companies and investors.
