12th Annual RI Europe 2019 | Responsible Investor | 11 June 2019 | Acre Square, 133 Houndsditch, London EC3A 7DB, UK

2019 will be a pivotal year for ESG in business and sustainable/impact finance, particularly in Europe where the European Commission is pulling together its landmark Action Plan for Sustainable Finance backed by regulatory/incentive input from the Financial Stability Board and the G7 and G20 countries.

The Action Plan, to be introduced during the year, will have huge operational and strategic ramifications for companies and investors in Europe and beyond.

In addition, EU member states are busying themselves with their country action plans for low carbon and sustainable finance as part of commitments to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

This investment conference is uniquely placed to tackle the most pressing issues where business, finance and sustainability cross over.
The RI Europe conference 2019, which brings together 750+ top-level corporate and investment professionals, is the place to learn, share, and debate the opportunities and challenges from these major regulatory and business shifts at an event renowned for high quality networking and conviviality.
