ESG Disclosure Among Public Listed Companies in Trinidad & Tobago
- Dr. Ron Sookram
- Hyatt Ballroom
Responsible investing is widely understood as the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into investment processes and decision-making. ESG factors cover a wide spectrum of issues that traditionally are not part of financial analysis, yet may have financial relevance. Today, the global investment community’s interest in ESG issues has reached a tipping point whereby large asset management firms and pension funds, for example, have been increasingly pressuring corporate leaders to improve sustainability practices in material ways that both benefit their company’s bottom line and create broader positive impact. That means progress on ESG isn’t just a nice-to-have anymore. It’s something shareholders will demand, because they believe it’s going to drive everything else they care about - growth, market share, profitability. This session therefore provides insights into the status on ESG disclosure and practice among listed companies in T&T relative to global trends as well as the regulatory implications related to ESG reporting.
