REPLAY

Since the start of the millennium, Europe has undergone two severe economic crises with severe social repercussions.

We need to learn from these crises if we want to build back better: leaving no one behind, decoupling economic development from environmental degradation and shifting from a volume to a value driven economy.

Sustainable finance and investment will play a key role in fulfilling the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Investment in Research & Development can foster innovation, contributing to the definition of a new economic system within the ambitions set out in the European Green Deal and Industrial Strategy.

In this context, the role of the financial sector and the responsibility of the Chief Financial Officers of companies will be the key to succeed.

Why should you participate?

If your ambition is to foster a true sustainability culture within your enterprise, and attract sustainable investors to support your business towards a just transition;
If your industry federation has the ambition to integrate sustainable finance to help drive the transition and transformation of your member companies;
If you are an investor ready to work towards sustainable markets that contribute to a more prosperous world for all;
Or if your mandate, as a policymaker, is to integrate the SDGs in your policies;

Then this Plenary is for you.

Join our guest speakers and high-level panelist on the EU policy direction set to expand the European Taxonomy and review Corporate Non-Financial Disclosure rules.
