June 6, 2023 - Danielle Fugere, President & Chief Counsel at As You Sow is a featured speaker for this session. Registration is free!

The backlash against ‘woke capitalism’, ESG and business action on climate – what can we learn from the US?

• Consideration of ESG risk in investing has become increasingly politicised, despite data indicating that restricting these considerations can impose huge costs on taxpayers and retirees. How is this playing out on the U.S. state and federal levels?

• What impacts is this having and what is likely to happen next?

• How are concepts of fiduciary duty and antitrust compliance being characterized or mischaracterized, and how can business movements like GFANZ, and businesses seeking to align to these goals, deal with the challenge?

  And what does this tell us about the fate of other climate initiatives in a business context?
