Event Overview

Ignoring environmental and social concerns is no longer an option, and just as we're all coming to terms with Kyoto, the recent meeting in Bali - and other preparations for 2012 - will further blur the goal posts and put new demands on the financiers holding the purse strings - and considered to be in a position to make a difference.

The race to be the keenest green is well on the way and no financial institution can afford to be left behind.

Feedback from a wide panel of experts has shown that there is an increasing demand for clear, pragmatic answers to all the questions posed by ' sustainable ' finance.

This conference agenda has been designed accordingly and will help you address your immediate challenges as well as some of the longer term issues that will affect your business.

Attending will set you up with the insight and advice that you need to adapt your day to day operations - and your long-term outlook to guarantee that your business model and your investments, are sustainable.

We'll help you recognize physical, financial and reputational risks and show you how you can take advantage of emerging opportunities in sustainable and ethical finance.
