We are pleased to invite you to our fortnightly economic webinar series, hosted by the Investec Economics team. For each session, one of our experts will be joined by a different guest speaker, covering current trends and topics impacting the economy.
On Wednesday 26 August, Philip Shaw will be joined by Tanya Dos Santos, Investec Global Head of Sustainability. We have seen a more precise focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) develop over the last few months and the current Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated that sentiment. Tanya will be able to share her practical insights on this and cover off how different sectors and businesses are responding. She will also share some industry examples of the innovation coming out of ESG and the size of the financial flows going towards it.
