We had a great gathering with over 70 academics from diverse disciplines, engaging in presentations and discussions on Environmental, Social, and Governance topics last Friday. Together we explored corporate’s climate lobbying activities 💬, analyzed how micro-finance institutions influence financial inclusion🏦 and studied how climate risk disclosure affects environmentally responsible investing 📈.

A heartfelt thank you to our organizer, Roni Michaely, and to Dean Hongbin Cai for the welcoming remarks. We also extend our gratitude to keynote speaker Zacharias Sautner, along with our presenters and session chairs: Bo Yang, Pingyang Gao, Jeffrey Ng, Tse-Chun Lin, sara kim, Ren Chao, Xinyue Luo, Eric Schuldenfrei, Haonan Zhou, Zhimin Chen, Zhixi Wan, Xing Hu, Anson Jiang, Daokang Luo, Ivy Dang, Ze ZHANG, and Guojun He.

A special thanks to our engaged attendees and the active online audience who contributed to the lively discussions!
