Brooklyn Bridge offers three Expert Meetings in which future scenario’s are developed that will offer attendees the opportunity to develop new strategies for their company and identify indicators today of future environments tomorrow.

On the 9,10 & 11 of November an Expert Meeting on on The Future of Fiduciary Responsibility will take place.
Pension Funds and their fund managers have in the past been reluctant to embrace SRI, due to fiduciary responsibility. Lately, this issue has been clearly addressed by the performance of SRI funds. In addition, a new issue has arisen, namely that with social and environmental issues clearly impacts value and financial performance. A new paradigm is arising that by not embracing SRI, fund managers are not performing their fiduciary responsibility.
The Future of Fiduciary Responsibility will explore the critical uncertainties, risks and opportunities facing fiduciary responsibility. By examining these possible futures, the project will identify the implications, opportunities and risks of alternative investment strategy for pension funds and other institutional investors.

An Expert Meeting on The Future of Corporate Governance is planned.
Much in the headlines over the past 18 months, corporate governance is expanding in scope, concept and implications. What's more, the very real liabilities and investment risk of corporate governance failure has been powerfully demonstrated leading to a shake-up on global corporate financial regulation unprecedented. This shift from a notion of "best practices" toward a notion of culpable requirement is dramatic and substantive in its implications. At the same time the concept of corporate impact and responsibility in environmental, social and humanitarian terms is being explored by governments and regulators across the globe.
The Future of Corporate Governance will explore the critical uncertainties and driving forces facing corporate governance stakeholders. By examining these possible futures, the project will identify the implications, opportunities and risks of alternative strategies, and identify indicators today of possible future environments tomorrow.

An Expert Meeting on The Future of SRI Reporting is planned.
Against the background of a global environment of economic and political uncertainty, Socially Responsible Investing has found itself a somewhat unexpected beneficiary. A crisis in corporate governance, changing EU and US regulatory landscapes, increasing environmental and social accountability and liability, and continued economic stagnation have led to renewed investor interest in the field. Yet this context of opportunity has introduced challenges. Reporting must keep pace with investor risk assessment needs.
The Future of SRI Reporting will explore the critical uncertainties and driving forces facing SRI Reporting stakeholders. By examining these possible futures, the project will identify the implications, opportunities and risks of alternative strategies in reporting, and identify indicators today of possible future environments tomorrow.
