Several cutting-edge studies on corporate climate practices will be presented for discussion by GlobeScan, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, the Yale University Center for Business and Environment, the Centre for Social Markets and the UN Principles for Responsible Investment.
New Caring for Climate signatories will be welcomed and recognized in a special opening ceremony during the meeting.
