IDEAS Conference 2017:

Playing by the rules: Ethics & Investment

The conference explored the multifaceted idea of social responsibility that various businesses carry.

With there being a decrease in global economic growth over the last few years and an increase in public sensitivity towards sustainability and social responsibility, the aim was to determine how investing can evolve to find a balance between creating a more sustainable future for the planet, and at the same time maintain upward economic progress.
