Registration for this two-day event is somewhat complicated as it will take place at two venues. For campus security reasons, separate registration is required for Day 2 in-person attendance at Bocconi University. You will need a QR code to access the building and this will be sent to you on completion of the form. The form is very detailed although not all fields are mandatory.

Registration for Day 1 at Borsa Italiana is accepted through either an Italian form (with Assonime) or an English form (with ECGI). One of these options is sufficient for in-person attendance on Day 1. Details of the programme are included in a separate email.
Each day's proceedings will be livestreamed but you do not need to register for this now. Details will be circulated closer to the date. The events will be recorded, so please only register if you plan to attend in person.

ABOUT THE EVENT
This event brings together senior academics and thought-leaders in business to discuss a range of current topics. It is part of the ECGI initiative on Responsible Capitalism.
The morning of second day will feature four academic presentations on responsible investing from leading scholars in economics, finance, law, and other disciplines. The studies will explore topics such as the motivations of responsible investors, the real impact of responsible investing strategies on firms’ ESG policies, ESG disclosure, and investors’ engagement, among others.
The event will also feature a panel focused on “ESG engagement in concentrated ownership companies”, which includes both listed state-owned enterprises and family firms. The panel will explore whether and how investors can influence the ESG conduct of these firms and what the specific challenges are for them to do so. The panel will include experts from both academia and practice.
