Welcome to the 4th Thematic Webinar of EIT Food Alumni themed "ESG Integration to Agri-Food Business for Sustainability: Trends, Investing & Policy Mechanism"
ESG is a framework for assessing a company's performance and social impact based on environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and corporate governance practices. The goal of ESG is to capture all the non-financial risks and opportunities inherent to a company's day-to-day activities.
ESG factors can significantly impact a company's long-term financial performance and risk profile, as well as their credit score. Investors who embrace ESG finance can ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and stay ahead of market trends. Companies with strong and transparent ESG performance are better positioned to attract customers and investors, and they might get better credit offers from banks.
Join this webinar and learn more about the role of ESG in the agrifood sector and discover the latest trends and policy mechanisms!
