Finextra Research is set to host its second SustainableFinance.Live event on March 23, 2020, aimed at dispelling misconceptions and addressing the challenges of "greenwashing" in sustainable finance. The conference will delve into actionable strategies for advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Now open for registration, this one-day immersive experience will feature a diverse lineup of experts who will kick off the event by sharing insights into innovative green initiatives within asset management and investment banking.
With a staggering $30 trillion committed to Sustainable Finance projects across the financial sector, there is significant commercial interest in effectively implementing these initiatives.
Attendees will begin the day with a session from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, discussing their experiences with early-stage investments, followed by Refinitiv’s analysis of the challenges faced by ESG-focused portfolio managers in data reporting.
The discourse surrounding Sustainable Finance is often clouded by jargon and rhetoric. While some terms are rooted in meaningful research and advancements, distinguishing which initiatives merit attention can be challenging.
Throughout the event, participants will engage in interactive roundtable discussions, allowing them to question industry leaders on detailed aspects of these concepts and projects.
By the afternoon workshop, it will be clear that not all ESG policies are created equal, making it crucial to sift through the noise and understand how each segment of the value chain contributes to the UN SDGs.
The workshop will culminate in a hands-on session where attendees will apply the insights gained from earlier discussions to develop viable solutions to real-world ESG challenges presented at the start of the event.
