Responsible Investor is proud to present a new webinar series dedicated to the investment implications of the European Commission’s Sustainable Finance Action Plan. The webinar series is intended to fill the knowledge gap in financial markets with updates about the Action Plan and the European Green Deal proposed in the late 2019. Through the series of three webinars, Responsible Investor will look at the practical implications for investors and examine how green/sustainable finance policy in Europe will impact decision-making of global investors. At the end of 2019, the EU announced its commitment to sustainable finance with the Green Deal which significantly widened the scope of the Action Plan to include the circular economy, biodiversity, deforestation and more. This third webinar of the RI EU Action Plan webinar series will look at the policy, risk and return implications of the Green Deal, and discuss how responsible investors can seize the opportunities.
