Investor Forum 2022

Panel 1, November 9th: ESGs, what you can’t measure, you can’t change: Towards Common Metrics of Sustainable Value Creation

Our first panel session adressed the importance of sustainable investment, what role does Corporate Social Responsibility, Stakeholder capitalism and ESG concepts play in today’s investment landscape. What monetary value do they bring to the table? Which ESG criteria are important when investing in startups? What are the challenges related to ESG evaluation and how does it look for investors investing in global south countries?

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is considered as one of the pillar regional blocs of the continent-wide African Economic Community (AEC). ECOWAS actions has realized that economic purposes cannot be sustained without considering environmental concerns. These developments gave rise to the West African Community Environmental Law (CEL), which is currently under a process of development and progress. Our panel session focussed on the regulation of finance and chemicals which are fundamental pillars of this development and need to direct investments in sustainable technologies which are needed for a transformative environmental development.
