Webinars

Pressure points: Navigating disputes risks

Governance: ESG and corporate purpose

Joined by Philip Collins, Columnist at The Times and former chief speech writer to Tony Blair; and Will Martindale, Director of Policy & Research at the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, this webinar shares some perspectives on how businesses and investors can develop a robust approach to the ESG risks and opportunities presented by the pandemic in the short-term and in the months ahead, as we head into the recovery phase.

Exploring opportunities: Private capital

This webinar looks at how the private equity industry in Europe has dealt with the crisis in the first 100 days or so and the role it will have to play as economies throughout the region emerge from hibernation.
