In the latest episode of The Ticker podcast, the IR Magazine team gathers to discuss what to expect at the IR Magazine ESG Integration Forum – Europe, which takes place in London on March 2.

In a roundtable discussion, IR Magazine reporter Noemi Distefano, senior reporter Tim Human and senior conference producer Laurence Taylor look at the overarching themes for IR Magazine’s first event of the year and the latest ESG regulatory changes that will be top of mind for investors in 2023. 

They discuss what has changed since the latest COP15 summit in Montreal in December 2022, consider how the importance of biodiversity has changed and look into which part of the ESG acronym will be of growing importance in 2023.

In an interview with Müge Yücel, director of IR and sustainability at Turkish company Galata Wind, Distefano asks for best practice advice for IROs who work for companies that are thinking about an IPO, are in the process of one or have just concluded one.
