That’s why it’s critical to understand consumers’ views on ESG to judge the future potential of today’s brands.

Today’s financial services firms must adapt to survive and thrive in the new normal. Our recent Global Consumer Barometer highlighted that: 73% of people would like their savings and investments to align with their values; 64% would never invest in a product if it carried a detriment to sustainability; and environmental issues are the number one topic they expect brands to do more on.

Join us for our in-person event on Thursday 24 March (11:30 AM-2:30PM) to hear from leading industry experts and discuss key ESG topics with industry peers over lunch. At the event, you will:
