ESG or Environment, Social, and Governance is at an inflection point. NYU, in collaboration with Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy’s Women in Energy initiative, welcomes Alison Taylor and Chief Sustainability Officers from throughout the business world to discuss ESG in both theory and in practice. In the midst of the current debate about ESG, business leaders are invited to engage in a discussion, and students are welcomed to better understand careers in and reality of ESG.

Panelists and Presenters include:

  • Michelle Dunstan, Chief Responsibility Officer, Janus Henderson Investors
