No longer an incidental consideration when pursuing business strategy and engaging stakeholders, ESG has given rise to a variety of new ways to raise and invest capital, as well as new regulations, more rigorous disclosure obligations and new areas of litigation risk.
Please join us for an in-person luncheon seminar in Toronto on April 26, 2023, for a look at recent ESG developments affecting corporate issuers, financial institutions and pension fund investors in Canada, the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom.

- Global perspectives on products in the market:
- Green, social and sustainability-linked bonds and loans
