Responsible Investor is proud to present a new webinar series dedicated to the investment implications of the European Commission’s Sustainable Finance Action Plan. The webinar series is intended to fill the knowledge gap in financial markets with updates about the Action Plan and the European Green Deal proposed in the late 2019. Through the series of three webinars, Responsible Investor will look at the practical implications for investors and examine how green/sustainable finance policy in Europe will impact decision-making of global investors. May 2020 marks two year since the European Commission launched the EU Action Plan for Financing Sustainable Growth. This second webinar of the EU Action Plan webinar series will explore the EU’s major works around green and sustainable benchmarks, including Climate Transition Benchmarks, Paris-Aligned Benchmarks and ESG disclosure for all investment indices. Speakers Sara Lovisolo, Group Sustainability Manager at London Stock Exchange Group, and Member at EU Technical Expert Group on Sustainable Finance Frederic Ducoulombier, ESG Director, Scientific Beta and Director, EDHEC Risk Institute-Asia Moderator: Hugh Wheelan, Co-Founder and Joint Managing Director, Responsible Investor
