Sustainable finance: The event will explore the contribution finance makes and can make to social and environmental sustainability. We will discuss the relationship between finance and sustainability and how the decision-making processes within finance, including the part played by actuaries, indirectly impacts society and the environment. The event will cover how sustainability issues are being integrated into the investment process in practice.
The event will also discuss the opportunities and risks involved from the changing financial landscape brought about by technology.
Speakers
Nick Silver: Managing director, Callund Consulting Limited, Senior visiting fellow at Cass Business School and Anglia Ruskin University. Founder/director of Climate Bonds and Radix. Recent member of Council and Resource and Environment Board, Risk Management Research and Thought Leadership Committee.
Meryam Omi, Head of Sustainability at Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM), has been named as a ‘Rising Star of Corporate Governance’ by the eminent Ira M. Millstein Center for Global Markets and Corporate Ownership at the Columbia Law School, South Carolina.
The award, presented at the 10th annual Millstein Governance Forum, recognises global corporate governance professionals under the age of 40 who are making their mark as outstanding analysts, experts, directors, managers or advocates. The selection process was based on criteria such as past accomplishments and thought leadership, future projects and endeavours, leadership and character, and potential to influence the industry.
Omi’s recognition follows just a week after LGIM’s 10-strong Corporate Governance team received the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA) inaugural award of ‘Best Investor Engagement’ for 2015.
Chair: Louise Pryor: Chair of Resource and Environment Board (from September) and member of Council.
