Interconnectivity of Impact

This is a two-part series of hybrid panels held in London and Frankfurt, alongside the launch of two reports on impact valuation as a tool for managing the interconnectivity impacts. The event will feature engaging discussions and presentations from leading academics and practitioners focusing on the following topics.

Moderated by Chris Turpin, Board Member and Strategic Advisor in sustainable finance and Dennis West, Researcher at University of Oxford

• Interconnectivity of Net Zero: What can Universal Owners do about Fossil Fuels?
• Interconnectivity of ESG supply chain risks: As turbulence and uncertainty unravel global supply chains, how are responsibilities re-assigned and become material? How are new investment risks connected across social and environmental issues?
• Interconnectivity of impacts: As none of those ESG risks stand in isolation, how can companies and investors act in a precautionary way and with positive outcomes?
