The webinar will unveil crucial findings, providing an overview of how financial institutions worldwide are aligned with global sustainability goals, digging into sector and regional patterns. This includes governance, climate and nature as well as social and ethical business practices.

The one-hour session will provide insight on the state of play across actors in the investment value-chain, to inform the work of all stakeholders, including civil society, policymakers, regulators as well as peers in the financial community. We will delve into the findings from the Benchmark, asking critical questions around corporate accountability and stakeholder influence, to provide context and insight on what is and what isn’t working to empower those working in and with the sustainable finance community.

Participants will join online and be able to ask questions. We will share an agenda closer to the event date. The session would be recorded. Please reach out to Dipanjan Basu (Dip) at d.basu@worldbenchmarkingalliance.org for any questions.
