Sustainability In Practice 2022 | Conexus Financial | 18 April 2022 | University of Cambridge, The Old Schools, Trinity Ln, Cambridge CB2 1TN, UK

Last year, in the lead up to COP26, more investors than ever before put their words in to action and made sustainability commitments. So for many investors 2022 will be focused on the practical application and implementation of those goals. The Sustainability in Practice conference will look at the meaningful steps that investors are taking to integrate sustainability including the impact on asset allocation and structural shifts of net zero. The conference will explore the new frontier of sustainability including impact investing, carbon markets becoming an asset class and investment frameworks for biodiversity. Drawing on experts at the University of Cambridge and investors from all over the world, delegates will be left with functional tools to implement their sustainability commitments and cutting edge research to share with their boards and investment committees.
