Forum Purpose & Mission
The Investor-Company Forum, an official side event of PRI in Person in São Paulo on November 4th, will return this year bringing together over 150 investors and companies from around the world to catalyse direct dialogue, identify barriers and develop groundbreaking collaborations to drive meaningful progress towards a sustainable and prosperous future.
Convened by stewardship initiatives Climate Action 100+ and Advance, this year’s Forum, in partnership with the Environmental Defence Fund (EDF), will feature case studies from multinational corporations across Latin America and their investors who, through constructive engagement, are developing leading strategies to tackle carbon and methane emissions while ensuring an inclusive transition for people and planet.
Attendees will leave with clear, actionable next steps to drive strategic engagement and advance the net zero transition—enhancing their understanding of ESG risks and effectively guiding investee companies toward socially and environmentally responsible operations.
The full agenda will be launched in early August.
