The NBS-PRI-ECGI Public Lecture Series is a new global joint initiative between Nanyang Business School (NBS), Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI) and European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) to facilitate the knowledge exchanges between academics, practitioners, and policymakers in sustainable business.  

The series provides monthly in-person or online public lectures. Each lecture will feature a leading academic to present cutting-edge research of a specific topic, and an industry expert to moderate the session, sharing insights from the field and also tailoring audience questions in a way to better enable bridging the gap between research and practice. 

This lecture will examine the current landscape of ESG and responsible investing. It will review recent academic evidence on how investors who align their portfolios with ESG principles are contributing to the overarching goal of greening the planet. Additionally, it will present novel evidence regarding the current state of the green transition and critically assess whether progress is occurring swiftly enough to meet global sustainability objectives.
