Afore Consulting Sustainable Finance Workshop

Afore Consulting organised the Sustainable Finance Workshop which will took place in a virtual format on Wednesday 21st June from 9 am to 1 pm CET.

The implementation of the EU sustainable finance framework has already kicked in for some issues and others are forthcoming.  This Workshop explored the usability of the EU framework, and we looked at the opportunities and the challenges it presents for corporates. What does this mean for the governance and organisational structure of a company? How will it impact different business models? How should companies prioritise their work and what challenges do they face?

 

The Workshop was structured around two main sessions:

  • In the first session, corporates shared their perspectives on how they are rethinking their business plans as ESG disclosure and strategy become an integral part of a company’s commercial strategy. Representatives from different sectors showcased how the tools of the EU sustainable finance framework can serve their respective objectives.
  • The second session looked at what financial institutions are looking for and how ESG data is impacting investment and lending decisions.

We also discussed the new European Commission legislative proposal on ESG ratings.

Joining us for this occasion senior EU policy makers and industry representatives from across Europe and beyond.

  • Sven Gentner, Head of Corporate Reporting Unit, DG FISMA, European Commission
