Oct 29, 2021 1:00 PM ET October 29, 2021 /3BL Media/ - There are more than 300 potential ESG topics that could be material to a publicly listed company. In partnership with more than twenty industry heavy-weights, *IR Magazine* and Corporate Secretary are bringing the ESG Integration Forum back as a virtual event for the fourth year in a row to help companies understand which focus areas need more attention. The two-day event will bring together the whole ESG ecosystem, including governance, investor relations and sustainability professionals at public companies, to develop an integrated approach when responding to investor expectations around ESG factors. The format, far removed from a traditional webinar, consists of panel discussions, live speaker Q&A, 1-to-1 networking, virtual roundtable discussions, fireside chats and more. Over the two days, prominent experts from 3BL, AlphaSense, Corbin Advisors, Cowen, DFIN, Diligent, Fortis, IHS Markit, Merchant Cantos, Nasdaq, NIRI, Okapi Partners, OneTrust ESG, Q4, The Governance & Accountability Institute and Workiva will be providing expertise on a variety of topics along with the help of investors, analysts and award-winning issuers. The discussions will cover how issuers can engage all company functions with the materiality process, prioritize, and focus on the most relevant issues to shareholder engagement. Attendees will also learn how to condense an ESG story into easily digestible messages that can be used during investor days and presentations. “*It’s safe to say this year has been like no other for the ESG movement, and we are proud to have more than 20 partners dedicated to helping issuers better respond to shareholder expectations around ESG factors. The ESG Integration Forum is the only event that brings together the key functions within a public company to tackle the challenges in this rapidly developing space. We believe that businesses don’t operate in silos, and neither should our events!”* – Steven Wade, head of event content, *IR Magazine* and Corporate Secretary. Attendees will include investors, analysts and publicly listed companies from across the US and Canada. The ticket prices are currently US$245 and are available for purchase on the event website. **About IR Magazine** IR Magazine is a publication of IR Media Group, a business media company renowned for its magazines, websites, events and research.
