Trends and Considerations for ESG Investment Options in Public Sector Defined Contribution Plans

Tuesday, June 29: 2:00-3:00pm EDT

Growing awareness and resulting employee interest is spurring defined contribution (DC) plans to include environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investment options among their offerings. In this webinar, a panel will discuss research, data, demographic trends, and implementation options for public sector DC plan sponsors, and provide real-world examples of how plan sponsors are incorporating ESG into their programs.

Additionally, the panel will share information about new resources plan sponsors can use to evaluate the ESG and sustainability practices, policies, and initiatives of their DC plans’ investment management firms. Developed by the 2021 NAGDCA Publications Task Force*, these materials are available to NAGDCA members only.
