Towerpoint Wealth kicked off its new Lunch and Learn series of educational workshops on August 30th with a presentation by Chris McKnett, Head of ESG for State Street Global Advisors.
14 attendees enjoyed Panera boxed lunches while participating in the interactive meeting, discussing what ESG investing is (a method for evaluating, at every stage of the investment process, how companies’ environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices may impact their stock return potential), and how this approach to investing is becoming increasingly popular, spurred by shifting demographics, increased global climate and resource risks, regulatory changes, and an increased focus on ESG among asset owners.
