Learning: Ethics & Practice Standards

At the end of 2023, The Board of the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) published a report outlining Supervisory Practices to Address Greenwashing. While some greenwashing challenges are being addressed, it remains a fundamental market conduct concern that poses risks to both investor protection and market integrity. Countering these risks is not an easy task given that greenwashing can take different forms and can vary in scope and severity, occurring throughout the investment value chain. During the webinar we will discuss these challenges and market behaviours; and we will discuss how the CFA Disclosure Standards aims to mitigate these issues. Presented by Sonal Bhagwan, CFA and Imelda Watkins, CAIA, with moderator Jennifer Henry, CFA.
