Smartkarma Webinar | Global Sustainability & ESG Frameworks: What Matters Most

In our latest Smartkarma Webinar, we welcome Insight Provider Kyle Rudden, who will discuss his recent Insight, Sustainability/ESG Frameworks: Overview and subsequent Insights. Kyle will give an overview of the sustainability framework ecosystem, starting with the “Big Three”:

1. UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a framework for society-level sustainability
2. Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), a company-level framework for a very broad audience
3. Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), company-level but investor-focused

The webinar was hosted on Friday, 7/August/2020, 5.00pm SGT/HKT.

Kyle Rudden is an ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) analyst with an alpha-centric approach to ESG research. After all, ESG investing is, first and foremost, investing. "Alpha-centric" does not mean apathetic, however. Quite the contrary. Kyle believes global sustainability – i.e., environmental stewardship, social equality, and economic prosperity – is imperative, and private-sector capital is its cornerstone. Private-sector capital still has fiduciary responsibilities. Profitability is necessary for sustained impact. The Triple Bottom Line. People, Planet, AND Profit.
