Following this year’s first Sustainable Finance webinar organized in collaboration with the LSFI, we are pleased to announce our next session which will take place on 28th September and will consist of a deep dive into Standards.
Standards are a sustainable finance instrument that can help your company advance on the sustainable finance journey by providing a set of requirements and metrics that aim to support the collection, reporting and disclosure of ESG-related information.
During this session, the LSFI team will briefly introduce their web-based toolkit “Take Action” and what Standards are. This will be followed by two keynote speeches about two highly recognized Standards: SAASB & IMP Five Dimensions of Impact. Speakers will include
- Maria Tapia, Communcation Manager, Luxembourg Sustainable Finance Initiative (LSFI)
- Neil Stewart, Director of Corporate Outreach of Value Reporting Fondation, SASB standards
- Mike McCreless, Executive Director of Impact Frontiers, IMP Five Dimensions of Impact.
