IE Business School and Sustainability - The Role of Sustainable Finance

In the face of existing global challenges, international organizations have found that only with the investment capacity of the public sector, it would be insufficient to achieve the objectives of the 2030 Agenda. The response of the financial sector - especially institutional investors - favors financing projects and companies oriented towards sustainability, as can be seen with the relevant increase in Sustainable and Responsible Investment (SRI). For their part, regulators are promoting transparency and setting global standards to avoid greenwashing. In this panel, important asset managers will discuss the trend of the SRI and the challenges they face to build trust and not be labeled as “greenwashing”.
