About this event
How can companies translate sustainability performance into measurable financial outcomes?
Join MSCI experts for a practical discussion of how sustainability and climate performance can influence index eligibility, investor visibility and exposure to index-linked capital. Through a demonstration and real-world use cases, explore how sustainability and climate metrics may be considered in certain index methodologies and how companies can assess their exposure to indexes referenced by investment products.
We will also hear from MSCI Chief Financial Officer Andy Wiechmann, who will share his firsthand perspective on connecting sustainability priorities with financial decision-making.
What you will learn:
- Why indexes matter: How investors use indexes and why index inclusion is relevant to corporate finance.
- Connecting performance to capital outcomes: How to assess sustainability metrics, compare peers and evaluate potential exposure to index-linked assets.
- The CFO perspective: How finance leaders approach sustainability investments, business value and capital allocation decisions.
