Together with MEP Molly Scott Cato I organise a breakfast meeting on:
GREEN AND CLEAN?
How to enable a sustainable European Financial System
Date: 12 April
Time: 8.00 – 9.30
Venue: European Parliament – Brussel | Members Salon
Effective and fit-for-purpose sustainability disclosure by the private sector is key to provide the information needed by the investment community to drive capital flows into sustainable business activities. The recently published European Commission’s “Action Plan: Financing Sustainable Growth” provides a perfect opportunity to drive that agenda forward. Also, the European Parliaments’s own initiative report on “Sustainable Finance” is currently undergoing its legislative process in the ECON committee.
This breakfast meeting seeks to stimulate the debate about the topic of non-financial reporting at European level.
The panel of speakers will share contributions from the European Parliament, the European Commission, CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) and a first-hand testimonial from an investor that requires his portfolio companies to report on climate and environment related impacts.
