This inaugural Sustainable Finance Week is one of those crucial platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A cross-platform collaboration, the week will combine the best of Bloomberg from Editorial, Bloomberg Intelligence, BloombergNEF and Panorama \u2013 the new Bloomberg Media creative agency. New content and multimedia campaigns on topics that matter will set the tone for conversations during Sustainable Finance Week: good governance and the role of boards, AI and big data in monitoring ESG exposures, ESG in emerging markets, decision-useful disclosures (such as the TCFD recommendations and SASB Standards), new products and platforms, investing in gender equality, and more. A dedicated sustainable finance hub sponsored by Nuveen will be available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/good-business\">www.bloomberg.com\/good-business<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pleased to present the inaugural Global Responsible Investing Forum, which kicks off the first-ever New York Sustainable Finance Week. Nuveen has championed responsible investing for over five decades; it\u2019s part of our DNA and critical to the success of our long-term approach,\u201d said Vijay Advani, Chief Executive Officer of Nuveen, the investment management division of TIAA. \u201cI view responsible investing as a journey, not a destination. We believe in leading by example and that by driving innovation, transparency, and global adoption of RI principles, we have the opportunity to provide enduring benefits for investors, our communities, and the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs RI Americas celebrates its 10th anniversary, we welcome the establishment of\u00a0Sustainable Finance Week. It confirms the extent to which responsible investing, ESG and sustainable finance have progressed in the past decade, moving from niche to mainstream as the world\u2019s largest investors have come to recognise that\u00a0driving long-term value creation and social stability has never been more important.\u00a0Sustainable Finance Week\u00a0is the place to be for anyone who is serious about responsible investment and sustainable finance,\u201d stated Tony Hay, Co-Founder and Publisher, Response Global Media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are proud that the annual SASB Symposium will be a core part of Sustainable Finance Week, where investors, companies and others can learn how SASB standards can help the world of sustainable finance scale-up and achieve greater impacts,\u201d commented Nicolai Lundy, Director of Education &amp; Partnerships at SASB, the nonprofit standards setting organization that recently launched the world\u2019s first industry-specific, financially material sustainability accounting standards.\u00a0\u201cBy collaborating with others we can move the market to develop a deeper, shared understanding of how sustainability factors can drive value, inform corporate strategies, and improve investment decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Further announcements will be made during the Sustainable Finance Week.<\/p>\n<p>For more information or participation please contact Mary Catherine Fixel, Executive Strategy Director of Panorama at <a href=\"mailto:mfixel2@bloomberg.net\">mfixel2@bloomberg.net<\/a> or Lee Ballin, Head of Sustainable Business Programs at <a href=\"mailto:lballin@bloomberg.net\">lballin@bloomberg.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Press Contact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Veronika Henze<br \/>\nBloomberg<br \/>\n+1-646-324-1596<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:vhenze@bloomberg.net\">vhenze@bloomberg.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Bloomberg <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg, the global business and financial information and news leader, gives influential decision makers a critical edge by connecting them to a dynamic network of information, people and ideas.
