Environmental, Social, and Governance or ESG.  These three words are the future of finance.  Not just because they make companies look good (they do).  Not just because ESG is of growing importance to investors (it is).  And not just because ESG is the subject of increasing regulation and scrutiny.  Rather, ESG is the key for companies to serve all their stakeholders and help make the world a better and more sustainable place.

Mr. Wasserman has extensive experience in the ESG space working to help promote sustainable business practices in the financial services industry. He is the founder of Finpublica, a non-profit that convenes finance leaders focused on promoting environmental, social, and governance issues inside and outside their organizations. In this capacity, Mr. Wasserman has compiled a trove of open-source educational information and tools to help professionals get up to speed on key ESG issues in a matter of minutes. He also publishes a weekly ESG newsletter and runs a speaker series with senior leaders from government, banks, research firms, funds on a wide-variety of environmental, social, and governance topics.
