Join us for Tipping the Scale, a weekly deep dive into Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues shaping South Africa and the world.

We also discuss BlackRock’s shift away from ESG, the impact of global regulatory changes, and the latest developments in climate action, including South Africa’s Presidential Climate Commission consultation on NDC targets.

How do we balance sustainability, economic growth, and social equity in a rapidly changing world? Tune in to find out.
