About this seminar

11th June, 2025
8:30 am - 10:30 am
Shakespeare Martineau, Birmingham

At this joint event with HSBC, we’ll explore the shifting ESG landscape through a panel discussion focused on sustainable finance, compliance, and risk management. Whether your organisation is new to ESG or looking to advance its strategy, you’ll walk away with practical insights and direction.

This session will unpack the evolving ESG landscape, with a particular focus on sustainable finance, compliance, and risk management. Our panel of experts will explore:

  • Why ESG matters — and what’s at stake
  • Key considerations in building an effective ESG strategy
  • What’s mandatory: compliance, disclosure, and reporting requirements
  • Understanding the “S” in ESG: social value, modern slavery, DEI and more
  • Greenwashing: what it is, how to avoid it, and how to build credibility
  • Practical steps to align ESG goals with business growth

Whether you’re early in your ESG journey or looking to enhance and future-proof your approach, this is a valuable opportunity to hear from specialists, ask questions, and connect with peers facing similar challenges.

The event will be held at Shakespeare Martineau’s Birmingham office, located at 1 Colmore Row, Birmingham B4 6AA.

Who Should Attend: This event is tailored for mid-market business leaders who want to better understand ESG, avoid common pitfalls, and drive meaningful impact across their operations.
