MSCI Research’s Human Rights Breakfast Event

NB. This event is organised by VBDO member MSCI.

Human rights regulations for corporations and investors alike have gained significant momentum in recent years. MSCI ESG Research estimates that over 80% of the MSCI ACWI Index (by market capitalisation) is subject to at least one human rights-related regulation as of August 2024. More broadly, financial institutions are facing growing scrutiny from clients, beneficiaries and civil society on how they are taking into account human rights issues.

Against this backdrop, we would like to invite you to join MSCI Research’s Human Rights Breakfast Event in-person on Wednesday, 25th September in Amsterdam.
