Environmental, social, and governance—or ESG—has captured the attention of the financial world. From large inflows to investment funds that market themselves as ESG-friendly to battles over ESG-framed shareholder proposals, ESG cannot be ignored. But what is ESG? Will it leave a lasting mark on financial regulation? Is ESG changing corporate governance? What role should ESG play in investment decisions? Should ESG be considered in assessing financial stability? Join us for an outstanding program featuring leading policymakers and experts discussing ESG and the future of financial regulation at Cato’s eighth annual Summit on Financial Regulation.

Please join us for a light reception following the conference.
