Educational Services: Presentations and Conferences

Presentations and Conferences

Sustainable Ventures produces educational lectures, seminars, workshops and presentations for conferences and a variety of other investment groups. Examples of SV's participation in a conference agenda might include: "The Added-Value of Sustainable Investing" — an integral topic to anyone interested in responsible investing.

Other issues that SV can address at gatherings include:

• Issues and key discussion points for beneficial owners of pension funds or for retirees whose pension funds have been trimmed, erased or redesigned.
• Topics for beneficial owner collective action — an activity in which more than one person works together towards an agreed upon goal — to achieve integrated investment performance.
• Activities such as:
  • Current public pension fund activities and leadership, e.g. CALPERS and CALSTRS — signatories of the 2005 Institutional Investor Summit on Climate Risk.
  • Leadership strategies that encourage companies to develop and produce Sustainability Reports in compliance with the Global Reporting Initiative.

SV can also assist a variety of groups with presentations and coaching including: pension fund groups seeking to educate their memberships; groups of individual investors who want to understand and communicate the importance of sustainable investing; and industries dealing with negative press.
