The webinar will cover all major issues (some of them not yet publicly known) that each user of ESG ratings should be aware of:

• Issues arising from the anatomy of ESG ratings
• Issues arising from the market with ESG ratings (oligopolistic market features)
• Issues arising from the latest trends in the ESG rating design
• Issues arising from ESG data backfilling
• Issues arising from ESG rating selling practices
• Issues arising from the raw ESG data quality
• Issues arising from the incentives in the ESG ratings industry and the pay model

We will also cover the future of ESG investing and talk about sustainable investor types, the trade-off between maximizing firm value and implementing other objectives, effects of divestment, and the fact that “looking green” is not the same as “being green.”
