The latest developments in ESG-related funds

Practical ways for governments, businesses and investors to build up a resilient socially and financially sustainable economy. In partnership with Triodos Asset Management Tuesday 8th December 16:00 GMT The volume of ESG assets has risen massively in the late 2010’s and the European Union is vigorously spearheading sustainable finance policy. But Covid-19 has rocked us on our heels; revealing the depth of our sustainability challenges, but exposing economic frailty. Can sustainability restructure the economy to make solutions to both feasible? If so, can the change happen at the desirable scale and speed to respond to environmental and societal crisis? This webinar will discuss a vision of sustainable recovery and its actual building blocks. Questions include To what extent is the “sustainable economy” policy vision agreed?: climate mitigation, energy transition, labour protection, inequality, diversity and inclusion, de-centralisation and so on. What are the practical roles of the financial sector in building a sustainable economy? How can we make sure they take up these roles? Can governments, investors and corporates afford to step up for a sustainable future? How useful are the existing initiatives such as SDGs and Paris Climate Accord to incentivise and signpost progress? Speakers: Hans Stegeman, Chief Investment Strategist, Triodos Investment Management Thierry Philiponnat, Head of Research and Advocacy, Finance Watch Geraldine Ang, Senior Policy Analyst, Green Finance and Investment, OECD Environment Directorate Moderator: Hugh Wheelan, Co-founder and Joint Managing Director, Responsible Investor
