Financial services firms within the EU must be able to demonstrate to investors they are supporting net zero goals. 

There is increasing scrutiny on environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosures and data reported by companies. In particular, the EU is looking to counter greenwashing (overstating green or ESG credentials) and green bleaching (underplaying ESG credentials to avoid more onerous obligations). It is also placing a greater emphasis on gathering high-quality data. 

It is critical your firm has the skills to keep investors and regulators accurately informed, as the focus on sustainability intensifies.  To help you meet this challenge, our ESG Academy shapes emerging talent into ESG experts that can be embedded into your team.
