The complementary roles of corporates and financial services in transition planning
Guildhall, Gresham Street, London, EC2V 7HH
About this Event
Join EY at Climate Innovation Forum for a panel discussion and Q&A exploring how corporates and financial services organisations play vital and complementary roles in the transition to a sustainable future. Corporates are not only direct contributors to climate change but also possess the power to drive meaningful climate action by implementing strategies to decarbonise their operations on national, regional, and global scales. Meanwhile, financial services act as enablers of this transformation by unlocking and redirecting capital towards investments in low-emission technologies and sustainable practices.
In the past two years, we have witnessed an increasing number of corporates and financial services organisations publishing transition plans as part of their climate strategies. These plans, to varying degrees, depend on one another to achieve their ambitious climate goals.
Session objectives:
– Explore the differing perspectives on transition planning from both corporate and financial services organisations.
– Examine the role of finance in corporate transition planning and the influence of corporates on the transition strategies of financial services.
– Discuss the distinct synergies that can be harnessed in future iterations of these plans and consider the key interdependencies that should be more prominently reflected in the transition planning process.
