"Hu" brings equitable transparency to ESG investing
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investment has struggled to move #beyondcarbon - creating need for the Human equivalency unit (Hu). The Hu puts human impact at the center of ESG valuations, allowing projects as different as water reclaimation and poverty reduction to be directly compared using the same language and metrics.
The Hu Valuation Summit brings together ESG startups, non-profits, proposals, collaborations, and initiatives; impact and ESG investors; and analytical experts to debate the value versus investment potential for some of the most innovative ESG efforts from around the world – empowering informed investment in those with the greatest positive Human impact.
Join this groundbreaking Hu Valuation Summit in the World Food Prize Hall of Laureates this June in Des Moines, Iowa, as it maximizes informed exposure to some of the biggest ESG opportunities for making truly impactful investments in our future.
