Sustainability

Chapter Description

Sustainability is the omnipresent topic these days which shapes all industries and the financial industry in particular. The Sustainability chapter discusses the ESG topic from a risk perspective.

  • How do Environmental, Social and Governance risks impact the financial industries? This becomes even more important in light of the double materiality of ESG risks.
  • What is the impact on different stakeholders along the value chain – from manufacturers over distributors to end investors / consumers?
  • What are best practices in managing these risks?

All events and additional information will be geared towards an interested risk audience. Deep technical knowledge and experience is not a pre-requisite for participation.
