The new EU regulation on sustainable finance is likely to provoke deep changes in the investment pattern of asset managers.
This regulation will introduce disclosure obligations on how institutional investors and asset managers integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in their risk processes.
Two experts will present the main aspects of the new regulation:
- Mr Sven Gentner, Head of Asset Management Unit at the EU Commission.
- Mrs Isabelle Cabie, Global Head of Responsible Development at Candriam
An other aspect of the responsible finance is the “impact investing”. A number of funds have been successfully launched with various scopes including microfinance, social impact bonds.
Two actors will describe their activity in impact investment:
- Mr. François de Borchgrave, Managing Director of Kois Invest
- Mr. Loïc De Cannière, CEO of Incofin and Chairman of the Social Performance Task Force
