Erste Group ESG Conference 2023 | Erste Group | 11 June 2023 | Erste Campus , Am Belvedere 1, 1100 Wien, Austria

Why should you attend?

This conference will give you the unique opportunity to learn firsthand how leading experts see the ESG area developing. They will provide insights from a regulatory, rating, issuer or investor perspective and how your institution needs to prepare for this journey.
After the panel discussions there will be an informal barbecue for participants to network and connect with similarly minded experts

Panels on 4 key ESG themes:
• Impact of energy crisis on Path to Paris – short-term nuisance, accelerated or delayed transformation?
• Is further regulation needed or gold plating already preventing implementation?
• Regulation of ESG ratings: can harmonisation bring more clarity or limit diversity of opinions?
• Will non-financial disclosure become as important as financial? Will it measure tangible impact and prevent green-washing?
