The event will bring analysts, investors and policymakers together to apply the Human impact unit (Hu) valuation methodology to 12 environmental, social and governance (ESG) projects. The Hu methodology provides investors a way to accurately value ESG projects and compare projects across different contexts, including carbon emissions, water quality and food insecurity. The summit is expected to generate a new wave of investment into environmental initiatives, according to a news release. “Serious issues in our state, like water quality or top soil erosion, need a new mechanism for driving the level of community investment that produces change,” Chris Draper, CEO of ESG Regenerative Authentication Credits and local chair for the summit, said in a prepared statement. “This summit will help expand impact investing beyond carbon by putting human wellbeing at the heart of these investments.” To learn more about the summit, click here.
