Nearly all major corporations release ESG reports, and global ESG (environmental, social, governance) assets under management are projected to pass $50 trillion in 2025. Some see ESG data as an essential tool to guide corporations toward positive social impact.

Find out at this hands-on workshop:
Date: October 30, 6:00-9:00
Place: Blau Colloquium
The workshop, sponsored by Ross Business+Impact, Business+Tech, and Just Capital, provides hands-on experience with ESG data to answer three questions:
- How can I evaluate a specific company’s ESG performance (e.g., a potential employer)?
- How can I assess ESG mutual funds and ETFs that I might invest in?
- How can I use ESG data to create a portfolio that matches my values?
The workshop assumes no prior knowledge of ESG.
