PANEL 2 - From ESG and Sustainability to Impact: the future of finance

The future of finance and investment is developing rapidly. The UK has been a leader in the fields of ESG and Sustainability framed investments, delivering the crucial funds for climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience. But change is coming: tougher rules around ESG, taxonomies and regulatory reporting requirements, new regulations in the EU, USA, and more. In accounting, the ISSB is setting harmonised global standards. Impact valuation is in development. It adds up to a new world order of finance - a world order that should benefit action on climate, recognising the impact on families and livelihoods too. - how will you plan for this new financial system? - what challenges do you expect in the changes involved? - what steps are you making, from ESG to sustainability and to impact? - how will full value chain reporting work for your companies? - and how can you put your company in the forefront of these changes?
