Bitcoin & ESG Conference

We believe investment professionals should be applying these considerations to digital asset investment as much as any other asset in their portfolio. The ESG characteristics of digital assets deserve careful consideration. We’ve designed this half-day conference to help our clients better understand how they might apply ESG considerations to decentralized networks, digital assets and Bitcoin in particular. Topics covered:

Environment

• How do we understand Bitcoin’s carbon footprint and what drives it?
• What factors drive Bitcoin’s resource & local environmental impact?
• What opportunities does Bitcoin create for more environmentally friendly resource use?

Social Impact

• How does Bitcoin impact the human capital in its ecosystem?
• What social opportunities does Bitcoin create, where and how?

Governance

• Who participates in Bitcoin and are their incentives aligned with coin holders?
• How do we assess whether a decentralized network will be governed well?
• How do we understand the risks in decentralized networks?
• What ethical norms exist or govern behaviour in Bitcoin?
