Green Equities and measuring impact
Reliable data is crucial in the process of sourcing investments qualifying as green. Data requirements are increasingly moving away from carbon footprinting and towards aligning investments with the latest climate targets. More recently, there has been a drive from investors to measure impact. This panel will bring together investors, advisors and data providers to discuss:
- How much reliable sustainability data is available? Which sectors and/or geographies have a particularly good culture of transparency?
- Ensuring investments are in line with 2C goal
- Measuring impact – opportunities and challenges
- Principles for Positive Impact Finance
- Scope 1, 2 and 3
