Project Syndicate’s Sustainability Comes of Age – September 24, 2019 – New York, NY

Project Syndicate Logo

Scientific findings show that climate change is already wreaking havoc not just on vulnerable ecosystems and communities, but also on global supply chains, critical infrastructure, and commodity, labor, and insurance markets around the world.

For businesses and investors, tackling climate change can no longer fall under “corporate social responsibility.” It is a bottom-line issue, and the successful companies of the future will be those equipped to grapple with its complexities and navigate the intersection of public policy, technology, and markets. Barron’s Group and Project Syndicate, the leading voices in global investment and economy, are convening a group of experts of the highest caliber to shed light on how companies can reorient their business models around environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors to maintain sustainable investment, and to highlight the market opportunities awaiting those who embrace the challenge. This event is a production of Project Syndicate and Barron’s Group Custom Studio, a commercial affiliate of Barron’s
