From the seven challenges tackled last year, five Working Groups have been organized to cover all seven topics from the GET-2 Global ESG Think Tank. The main objective is, starting on April 2023, to prepare five short documents, one for each of the Working Groups, and present them at the event in Oxford which will take place from September 11th -13th at Jesus College. Each of the five Working Groups will be led by different professionals from the four investment funds and members of Fide who have worked closely with the WGs and all are experts in the different topics being covered.
