Seminar “ESG as a game changer”

Wednesday, 3 November, from 3pm to 6pm

ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) means designing business activities that are sustainable and responsible. This is a trend that will alter the business environment beyond recognition already in the near future. The years to come will bring wider non-financial data disclosure obligations, implementation of the principles of sustainable finance and more specific goals and measures to reduce climate impact.

To better understand the nature of ESG and the impact of sustainable finance on raising money or closing deals, we ask you to join us at a seminar where PwC’s top ESG experts will provide useful tips. LHV, the largest domestic capital provider in Estonia and BaltCap, the largest private equity firm of the Baltic states, will share the experience of their ESG journeys.

We are looking forward to meeting you at our seminar held in the conference room on the 7th floor at Hotel L’Embitu (Lembitu 12, Tallinn) on Wednesday, 3 November, from 3pm to 6pm. The seminar will be followed by an exchange of ideas in an informal setting, where snacks and wine will be served.

The seminar will be held in English and attendance is FREE of charge.

Should you wish to participate, we ask you to fill in the registration form. The number of seats is limited!

To gain entry, please bring a COVID certificate proving vaccination or recovery.
