Agenda

Day 2 - Wednesday 6 March

		ESG: Actions speak louder than words The European Commission is picking up speed on the implementation of the EU Action Plan on Financing Sustainable Growth. First concrete regulatory proposals were published in May and have made good progress since. Further items are in the pipeline, with experts appointed to work out the technical details and industry consultations circulating… As sustainable finance is becoming a reality in the EU, asset managers are getting ready to lead the way.

		There is so much we can do: case studies of ESG approaches The spectrum of ‘sustainable’ investment funds is as large, innovative as diversified. From exclusion to positive impact, what are sustainable investment funds really doing? Are they contributing towards a better world? Asset managers tell their – fascinating – stories from the field.

		Economic and political outlook

		Substance, substance, substance This session will closely examine CSSF Circular 18/698, its impact and implementation.
