USA Event details
We were delighted to welcome top journalists, academics, sector specialists as well as familiar faces from Evelyn Partners that debunked some of the jargon surrounding responsible investment and explored how taking steps towards the transition to net zero can be good for business.
We heard from two of the most engaging speakers in responsible investment today. Stuart Kirk, the regular FT columnist with his weekly Saturday article is very popular for his pragmatism and clarity of thought. Sam Fankhauser, Professor of Climate Economics and Policy at the University of Oxford, is both positive and informative on ways to achieve net zero. We also hosted a panel discussion with some of the most innovative minds address Net Zero in today’s society: Simon Heppner, Roland Brown and Emma Loder-Symonds.
