Corporate sustainability has become a key priority for larger and smaller companies moving forward. Investors, governments, and other stakeholders are increasingly demanding that companies demonstrate sustainable strategies aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Taking this into account it is imperative to make investment decisions in the financial sector that lead to more long-term investments in sustainable economic activities and projects. Sustainable finance has a key role to play in delivering on policy objectives and will help ensure that investments support a resilient economy and a sustainable recovery from any internal and external impacts.
This session will highlight the following objectives:
- Corporate Governance as the umbrella concept for sustainable finance
- Financial Sustainability and the alignment with SDGs
- Achieving economic growth through sustainable finance
