The briefings will provide a breadth of insight and commentary across active ownership, what an ESG approach to business and investment actually means, the UK’s housing crisis, a net zero world and government’s stalled programme to level up.
We believe that companies like Legal & General can make money, generate returns for our shareholders and tackle inequality, by making investments we know will make a difference.
As a result, these events will bring together our senior leaders who will provide sector and business expertise from across divisions within Legal & General to try to bring inclusive capitalism to life. For some topics, our speakers will be joined by external speakers.
Journalists from all publications, regions and specialisms are welcome.
