The new times are promoting a new way of doing things, more focused on satisfying other values with greater sensitivity towards the environment and everyday life. Ensuring the interests of the environment and society is no longer just a matter of the Administration and the entities that have always sought these assets, but caring for our planet and our lives is already a commitment of practically all of us.
For this reason, the economy is not left out of this agreement that society is establishing with the environment. And proof of this is sustainable finance, which seeks to invest in those companies that demonstrate social and environmental responsibility and good corporate governance. Thus, the environment and society become the two main factors in the fight against inequality and in favor of inclusion and human value.
The financial market has been transformed in recent years with the emergence of sustainable finance. It has deployed a whole set of products -from green bonds to others of a social and environmental nature- that has led to relevant regulatory changes such as the EU Action Plan on Sustainable Finance, which obliges the incorporation into the different legislations of regulations so that demand that entities incorporate sustainability factors in the management of their products.
Environmental, social and government investment, known by its acronym ESG, which already represents almost 25% in Europe and reaches more than 35 trillion dollars worldwide is, in any case, insufficient to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations and to accelerate decarbonization. Experts recall that the climate crisis cannot be resolved without taking into account the impact of the activity on biodiversity.
With the intention of publicizing this type of opportunity for investors and project developers, La Vanguardia and Acciona are offering a round table on June 27 with Javier Molero, director of projects and the 2030 Agenda at the United Nations Global Compact; Antonio Romero, member of the executive committee of Finresp, Andrea González, general director of Spainsif and a representative of Acciona.
In this event, which can be enjoyed live in Madrid and via streaming on the newspaper's website, relevant issues will be addressed such as: Are entities, companies and institutions more aware of the opportunities offered by sustainable finance? Are financial products really sustainable? What advantages does this type of financing offer and how does it harm unsustainable financing? How much investment is necessary to transform the economy and stop the advance of climate change? And is decarbonization economically viable? To attend as a public fill out the following form
