In 2019, Marquette Business held its first ever Responsible Investment Symposium, a successful event that brought together experts on sustainable investment practices from across the country. Since that time, more companies and organizations have adopted ESG and sustainability standards, creating an emerging paradigm for responsible and ethical business practice moving into the future.
