ESG factors have been gaining momentum over the last few years and are no longer optional ethical concerns. They are now critical for management and investors to understand companies’ valuations. The ESG valuation course is designed for those who, without the need to have a financial background, want to gain a critical understanding of the impact ESG is having in corporate valuations.

This course is essential for legal practices and consultants wanting to update their ESG knowledge to assist their clients, as well as in-house risk managers and fund managers wanting an in-depth update on the practical aspects of recent ESG regulatory developments. They will find this webinar enriching and a solid reference tool to validate their ESG policies.

As the ESG theme becomes more prominent in the life of corporates, so does the need to understand the impact on their valuations. This has so far proven difficult given the changing approach to ESG factors by governments, corporates and investors. This ESG valuation course provides the tools to have a critical view of the “push-pull” strategies that regulators are implementing across jurisdictions and gain a thorough understanding of how investors are reacting to them to ensure they combine their mandates with developing regulatory obligations.

The course materials will enable the participants to gain a critical understanding of the most updated developments. This will enable course attendees to build their own proprietary argument on the state of ESG's impact on valuations based on fundamentally driven principles and updated corporate practices.
