2025 Sustainable Investing Symposium

Sustainable investments have gained a stronger foothold among asset owners and investment practitioners, marking their evolution into a more mature field. However, investors face multiple implementation challenges as they pursue both investment and sustainability outcomes. The Symposium unites various stakeholders within the investment ecosystem to address these issues and explore effective solutions. Building on last year’s success, this event showcases how sustainable investing navigates these hurdles to advance.

Panel 1: Challenges to the Asset owners to achieve sustainability outcomes: resource constraints, green-washing risks, fiduciary duty vs responsible investments, product mismatch, benchmark limitations, long term benefits vs short term performance pressure. 

Panel 2: Reality Check:  Navigating the Roadblocks in Sustainable Investing

In 2025, sustainable investing comes face-to-face with reality, as investors encounter various roadblocks, from political backlash to credibility concerns. This panel will explore these challenges, their impact on decision-making and implementation, and strategies to overcome them.  

Mark your calendars and save the date for the 2025 Sustainable Investing Symposium! Don’t miss this opportunity to join industry leaders and shape the future of sustainable finance.
