As companies around the world increasingly switch from unethical investments towards those that recognise the importance of social and environmental factors, this session delves deeper into Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing. The 45 minute lecture, followed by the opportunity for Q&A, will examine the context for ESG; the history of sustainability and its links with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Delivered by Barclays experts, including Will Roberts (VP, Debt Finance), Lucy Eyers (RD, Public Sector) and Ian Chesham (Director, Private Bank), the insight session will cover the bank’s own work in this area, as well as profiling other sectors, including client case studies illustrating key themes including net-zero, from a financing and investing perspective. The session also looks at the increasing career opportunities for graduates that are emerging in the ESG space
