Super Insights Webinar: ESG – Investing in a sustainable tomorrow 

KPMG and ASFA are delighted to present a webinar on 31 October 2023 at 12.00 – 1.00pm (AEDT) focusing on the current ESG trends and challenges for the superannuation industry.

As the landscape continues to evolve, super fund trustees must continue to navigate their fiduciary responsibility while also considering the management of Net Zero pledges, greenwashing, making sustainable investments that have a real-world impact, the role and effectiveness of investment stewardship, investment screening, carbon offsetting, and double materiality.

The webinar will include short key note presentations, followed by a panel discussion with Q&A from the audience. Panellists will include:

  • Geri McMahon (chair), Head of ESG for the Asset and Wealth Management Sector, KPMG Climate Change and Sustainability
  • Luke Edwards, MD and Head of Australia, Renewable Power & Transition of Brookfield Asset Management
  • John Moutsopoulos, Asset Management and ESG Lead, KPMG Law
  • Zein El Hassan, Head of Financial Services, KPMG Law
