Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues are now front and center for investors. This means, as IR leaders, we need to know more than most about the factors contributing to or damaging our ESG scores with groups like Bloomberg, ISS, Corporate Knights, MSCI ESG Research, Dow Jones and more.

NIRI DFW is here to help.

Bob Hirth, Senior Managing Director of Protiviti, a global internal audit and business risk consulting firm, is also a member of the SASB standard setting board. As such, Bob has unique insights on how ESG will be measured by third-parties and – perhaps more importantly – how companies should be measuring and tracking their ESG performance. This promises to be an informative lunch and will likely fill up fast.

But perhaps equally valuable is the networking opportunity at a lunch like this. The IR leaders who attend this luncheon are IROs and corporate governance types who are already looking at, measuring, evaluating, and building their personal ESG body of knowledge.

If ESG is on your radar – even a little – there’s no better place to have lunch on October 3 than with NIRI DFW at El Fenix restaurant on McKinney near downtown Dallas.
