Deepdive #3 "Social agenda as capital and the dynamics between Institutional investors, Capital markets, private sector, municipalities and the social agenda of future cities delivering ROI for cross industry participants." (October 13th)

Following the ESG4C Research Conference (on September 13th), four deep dive sessions are organized until the next research conference of November 1. The aim of these sessions is to integrate different knowledge, experiences and perspectives from the first working conference into a more collaborative strategy and working method.

In our third session we will dive into Social agenda as capital; the ESG-dynamics behind capital markets, private sector and local governments. How is ESG transforming capital markets and impact investment portfolio’s. What are private companies doing -beyond reporting- to transform businessmodels and value chains and how do they benefit from this? How do social entrepreneurs anticipate upcoming new opportunities. Where can cities support and how can we work together on our social impact goals?
