As the world grapples with intensifying crises, from economic uncertainty and geopolitical instability to the accelerating climate emergency, financial institutions face a pivotal moment. Will these mounting challenges conspire coupled with anti ESG sentiment force a retreat, causing institutions to step back from sustainability commitments and rethink their purpose?

Or will this pressure serve as a catalyst, revitalising the industry with select institutions digging deep demanding sustainability KPIs are met and driving real, systemic change? Ethical Finance Global 2025 will explore these critical question, bringing together global leaders to debate the future of finance in an era of unprecedented disruption.
