Thursday 25 January 2024

The ESG Forum 2024 will be held on Thursday, February, 29, at the Gibson Hotel, Dublin, and is sponsored by PwC and SustainIQ.

Organisations are now operating in a changing world, with the growing challenges of climate change, transitioning to a circular economy, and inequality. There is now a need to consider environmental and social considerations and have the necessary governance framework in place to support them.
