How financial services can lead the net-zero transition

Finance industry practitioners explain how firms can embrace their leadership role in decarbonizing the economy – and what opportunities the transition offers.

15:00 – 15:45 CEST / 14:00 – 14:45 BST

The finance sector is at a critical crossroads

The success of the global transition to a net-zero economy depends on the choices that finance practitioners will make in the immediate future. It becomes increasingly apparent that these practitioners are choosing between two distinct paths: the reactive or the proactive path.

The increasingly complex regulatory landscape and a wave of greenwashing allegations have led many organizations to choose the reactive path – delaying important climate commitments and investments in technologies that are essential for the transition.

On the other side is the proactive path. Proactive firms take on the challenges of a rapidly evolving regulatory and standards environment and embrace their leadership role in the transition.
