Sustainable Finance in 2022: Putting Europe's Ambition into Practice
2022-03-31 09:00 - 17:00 | Virtual Event
Post COP26, the financial sector has a key role to play in supporting the urgent transition to a sustainable economy. Governments and regulators around the world are stepping up efforts to integrate climate and sustainability into regulation, impacting an ever larger part of financial transactions, products, firms, and entire value chains. 2022 is, in many ways, the year that sustainable finance is expected to become truly mainstream.

Europe has been a global champion in the sustainable finance agenda, and the implementation of key EU legislation like the EU Taxonomy and Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation has now begun. Market participants are grappling with the practical challenges behind this effort in Europe and beyond, as regulators around the world are considering their own approaches to appropriate disclosure, oversight, and enforcement.

Join us for a discussion on:

• The importance and influence of global initiatives such as the Task Force on Climate-related Finance Disclosures (TCFD) on the policy agenda

• The EU sustainable finance agenda under the spotlight: achievements thus far and expectations for 2022 and beyond

• Practical considerations for the industry as ESG regulation becomes a reality. What are the challenges and opportunities?The event will feature opening remarks from Mary Schapiro, Vice Chair for Global Public Policy at Bloomberg and Special Adviser to the Founder, Head of the TCFD Secretariat, and Vice Chair for the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero, which will be followed by an interactive fireside chat with Alexandra Jour-Schroeder, Deputy Director-General at the European Commission’s DG for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union (FISMA), and a high-level industry panel on the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Innovation @ Work The future of work is here, now.

Innovation @ Work Digital transformation efforts have been accelerated beyond all expectations and no individual or organization can afford to fall off the technology wagon post-pandemic. How do we beat the ‘Great Resignation’ to attract and retain talent? And how do we leverage the benefits of technology while being empathetic about the wellbeing of our employees? Should we all be async by default? What ground rules are needed and what are the symptoms of a lack of balance between different ways of working? How do we ensure those who are working remotely are not overlooked in a hybrid model? Leaders need to plan the rituals that provide connective tissue between distributed employees and be more intentional about building a predictable rhythm for when people will convene. So how do we ensure our sterile post-pandemic offices are still able to breed collaboration and co-creation? Amidst the confluence of cloud, collaboration, connectivity, how do we provision IT to support resilience and continuity?

At Innovation @ Work Global Week 2022, over 120 speakers will debate all of the most pertinent issues for the C-Suite today, giving you fresh inspiration and takeaways to apply to your own 9-5. Don’t miss the in-person day in London on 29th March 2022 and the brand new Wellbeing@Work Special Focus Day on 30th March 2022!

All you need is trust: strengthening confidence in business relationships
2022-03-21 14:00 - 17:00 | Virtual
In today’s interconnected world, trust within and between businesses is continually put to the test. Suppliers need businesses to trust that they will deliver goods and services on time. Corporate customers need to trust that businesses are safeguarding their data. And businesses must trust that suppliers are upholding workplace standards and ethics. But with supply chains and business units spread across the globe, and most transactions, trades and negotiations taking place remotely, it has become ever harder for businesses to build and maintain trust.

As any business leader knows, trust is built slowly and over time, but it can be broken almost overnight. And where it fails, businesses stand to lose not just profits and reputation, but human capital too. But while business leaders say they recognise the importance of trust, there appears to be an action gap. A PwC survey of 503 business executives in the US revealed that 50% of the companies surveyed had not defined what trust meant to their business, and even fewer had embedded it as part of their business strategy.

Covid-19 demonstrated starkly the disruptive effects of a global crisis, and the strains and expectations placed on business as a result. With companies navigating an increasing number of everyday threats, from the impacts of climate change to rising cybersecurity risks, businesses need to be able to rely on their relationships to ride out the storms. Trust can be a powerful tool in the corporate arsenal, but strategic thinking is required to place it front and centre in business strategy.

Programmed by Economist Impact and sponsored by Icertis, this webinar will convene business representatives, consultants and thought leaders to examine how companies can strengthen trust in business-to-business relationships to improve profits, performance and resilience.

The questions we will seek to address include:

● Is there a trust deficit in business-to-business relationships? How did covid-19 impact trust in business relationships?

● To what extent can trust be defined, quantified and measured?

● What are the key drivers of trust within a business? What factors do stakeholders value most?

● How can businesses put trust at the centre of their corporate purpose and business strategies? What lessons can be learned and applied?

● To what extent is trust a determinant of business success? How can trust improve business performance and outcomes?

7th Annual Sustainability Week
2022-03-21 08:00 - 2022-03-24 17:00 | Virtual Event
Annual Sustainability Week Accelerating transition, building resilience!

7th Annual Sustainability Week

The world is not transitioning to net zero fast enough. Extreme weather events of the past year—with average global warming at 1.1°C over pre-industrial levels—are just a taste of what could lie down the road. If countries fail to become carbon-neutral by 2050, limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5°C will not be possible.

This is the decade to deliver. Business leaders need to respond more aggressively to meet ambitious targets for mitigating climate change. Governments need to invest in climate-resilient infrastructure while reducing social inequalities that have been highlighted by the covid-19 pandemic.

Four months on from COP26, the seventh edition of Economist Impact’s Sustainability Week will examine how existing policy and regulatory frameworks have addressed climate change, and the progress made so far on emission-reduction commitments. Bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs and researchers from around the world, the event will assess how society can take a more holistic approach to sustainability in order to achieve targets and deliver significant impact.

Who should attend?

Senior sustainability and CSR professionals from all industriesBusiness leaders and executives (managers, directors, c-suite) from all industriesImpact investors / responsible investorsESG reporting agenciesCharities and organisations with an interest in sustainability issuesSustainability and climate academics e.g. researchers and professorsRelevant government bodies, departments and policymakers

Asia Trade Week – The last 12 months have seen Asian trade and economies rebound following the shock of covid-19. Despite continued tensions between China and America, and climate-led disruptions to supply chains, reasons for optimism about the future of Asian trade remain.

As we enter the second quarter of 2022, for business leaders and policymakers with a stake in Asian trade, pertinent questions endure such as:

What are the key policy developments on regional government agendas?How will these shape a continued economic recovery?Will SMEs continue to form the bedrock of trade in Asia?What technologies will emerge that improve supply-chain efficiency and transparency?How will COP26 shape sustainability issues and what is the impact on businesses?

Economist Impact’s Asia Trade Week 2022, seeks to answer these questions, building on its record as a must-attend event for those involved in trade in the Asia-Pacific. It will convene business leaders, trade negotiators, policymakers, academics and experts for a week of rigorous discussion and debate on the most important issues surrounding Asian trade and business.

Stakeholder capitalism has been a popular term at international summits and in boardrooms in recent years一and for good reason. Even before the covid-19 pandemic, global crises such as climate change were forcing overdue conversations about the role of business in society. And CEO after CEO announced their commitment to go beyond shareholder primacy to provide value for all, in order to contribute to a fairer and more sustainable future.But words are one thing; action is quite another. And while the theory of stakeholder capitalism一taking into account the needs of all stakeholders and favouring long-term value creation一may sound straightforward enough, the practice is less so.The challenge for business is to translate concept into reality, and good intention into outcome. For businesses to embrace stakeholder capitalism, they need to understand its tenets and how they can organise their company around them. Not only that, companies must be able to measure and communicate their impact to investors, employees and customers, a task far more challenging than reporting quarterly earnings.Stakeholder capitalism may have plenty of proponents, but these are matched by its detractors. Some believe businesses exist primarily to make a profit, while others deride stakeholder capitalism as nothing more than corporate bluster. But can businesses prove them wrong?Programmed by Economist Impact and supported by Enel, this webinar will bring together business executives, academics, investors and thinkers to examine how businesses can take stakeholder capitalism from concept to reality. The questions that will be addressed include:

How can companies organise around the stakeholder capitalism principle? What are the greatest challenges in moving away from a shareholder-primacy model? How can businesses effectively measure and communicate the value created for stakeholders? How can they go beyond PR-talk? Does stakeholder capitalism make for good business? What potential advantages could it bestow on companies?What is the experience of companies that have embraced stakeholder capitalism? What lessons can be learned from their example? Is stakeholder capitalism the best way for businesses to deliver value to society? Is that the role of private industry? Is the dominance of the stakeholder model a fait accompli?

Technology for Change Week Asia 2022
2022-03-08 08:00 - 2022-03-11 17:00 | Virtual Event
Join us Technology for Change this coming March on International Women’s Day as we focus on the social and governance aspects of ESG to build much-needed momentum around gender equality, economic inclusivity, connectivity gaps, and access to food, education and digital technology. If necessity is the mother of invention, how has covid-19 catalysed change? The second Technology For Change Week Asia will gather leading policymakers, entrepreneurs and managers in major corporations, big tech, finance and NGOs. Together, they will examine how technology-based and data-driven solutions can be applied to long-standing social challenges. They will also focus on issues that resonate strongly across the more than five billion people in Asia: connectivity infrastructure, financial inclusion, education and nutritional security.

The United Nations (UN) General Assembly recently implored member states to close the digital divide for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The World Bank estimates that the ranks of those living in extreme poverty are likely to have swollen by 150m due to the covid-19 crisis. There has never been a more urgent need to raise digital and financial inclusion and promote prosperity. To nurture economic growth, the fulfilment of basic social needs such as education, food security and banking is an essential foundation. Technology may be the most important connective tissue that links the financial world’s power and influence to the inclusive aspirations of the SDGs. How do we move from hype to help?

The US-Africa relationship: An evolving landscape

The US-Africa relationship: An evolving landscape

Africa is transforming rapidly. Economic policies and business environments on the continent are improving. Institutions are becoming more resilient and good governance is spreading. But there are also difficulties and setbacks, such as the war in Ethiopia, which are stalling billions of dollars in investment. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement has been a landmark, creating the world’s largest free trade area—a key step towards realizing the goal of a more dynamic and resilient regional economy. But players beyond the continent will also play an essential role. Trade relations between Africa and the United States are being reshaped by policies and strategic re-engagement.

America has been keen to rebuild partnerships in the region and to collaborate in areas including trade, health, security, climate change, innovation and peace. Support in dealing with the covid-19 crisis is key as a new wave of the pandemic sweeps over Africa. There are also opportunities to co-operate on building democracy and to provide technical assistance that boosts African countries’ resilience against the effects of climate change. Another area of potential strategic co-operation is infrastructure support, which may be provided through the global Build Back Better World initiative. Industry experts suggest that a stronger commitment to the emerging AfCFTA would be an excellent place to start.

As Africa continues to develop, how will its economic relations with America evolve? How will the transforming relationship help support trade and development while boosting inclusive growth and resilience? Join Economist Impact for The US-Africa Relationship: An Evolving Landscape, sponsored by Standard Chartered. The in-person event in New York will bring together executives, industry experts and thought leaders to discuss opportunities in the evolving relations between America and Africa and the vision for the future.

Key questions addressed will include:

What does synergy between Africa and the United States look like in practice, and how can it help drive dynamism and growth on both continents?

What are the key areas of strategic investment? What priorities need to be set for co-operation?

How is Africa responding to current challenges—particularly those presented by covid-19? Where is further support needed?

How can exciting trade opportunities like the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) be improved? With uncertainty around the AGOA’s extension beyond its current expiry date in 2025, how can businesses better plan ahead?

What is the long-term outlook for trade relations between America and Africa?
