Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) and Greenwashing

After the three guest speakers gave an overview of these innovative and proven financial instruments and strategies, other participants joint the “virtual stage” to share their experience raising and receiving financial investments from impact investors and ask questions on how to attract capital, as well as how to overcome hurdles to raising money for innovation solutions to tackle social and environmental challenges, beyond ESG. Several participants also expressed urgency over the 2030 SDGs agenda while also raising concerns over the large inflows to ESG funds, particularly during 2020 and now in 2021, in regards to potential Greenwashing & Swashing - one of the latest terms in relation to Social Greenwashing in particular. pgslot
