WIFA is excited to announce our upcoming Environmental, Social, and Governance (#ESG) focused event hosted in partnership with J.P. Morgan. Climate change has been front and center in ESG, and remains a key focus, but as ESG becomes increasingly embedded, we explore “ESG – beyond the climate lens”.
