Wall Street: The New Driver for a Sustainable World? (Event)

On October 9, 2012, between 4:30-7:30 EST at Bennett Jones, 1st Canadian Place, 100 King St. W., 34th Floor, Toronto, there will be a unique opportunity to learn, discuss and debate with one of the world’s foremost thinkers on sustainable investing. Is Wall Street beginning to drive transformational change? If not, what’s holding it back? What does this mean for your organization? How will this affect the strategies that are being developed?

“This event will be of special interest to investors, corporate executives and managers, and NGOs, as well as to those who advise them.”…Matthew Kiernan.

Dr. Matthew Kiernan, President and CEO of Inflection Point Capital Management and author of Investing in a Sustainable World, explores how Wall Street is increasingly using sustainability metrics to value companies and how this trend is wrought with inconsistency between words and actions.

The Questions that will be Addressed Include:

What does this mean for your organization?
How does this trend affect the strategies that top corporate executives are developing?
Have you ever wondered why 117 billion dollars from the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan invests without a thought to the environment?
Does the UN Employee Pension Fund (40 billion) or the Nature Conservancy Investment Endowment (2 billion) adhere to a strong environmental policy with its investments?

During the event you will also learn:

What is the finance sector doing to effect change towards greater sustainability?
What is this sector NOT doing and why?
What will it take to make the finance sector act differently?
What does 70 trillion global investment dollars look at when considering an investment in your company?
