Catching the Point- How Responsible Investment can Reflect on the Profits?

This year Finsif brings up the ultimately most interesting point in RI- what is the link to risks and return? The afternoon is packed with fresh angles varying from investor to research perspectives. Briefly, the event seeks answers to the following questions:

ESG data..
–..where does it come from?
– ..how to understand it?
– ..how to work with it as a responsible investor?

In addition to risk and return perspective, Finsif will be publishing the results of our surveys: what is the current state of responsible investment practices in Finland and how RI issues are integrated in university studies?
