💡 Driving transition finance forward
1/2 We were honoured to have former Treasury Lords Minister Baroness Charlotte Vere chair yesterday’s roundtable on key challenges in transition across finance and the real economy.

1/2 Yesterday, the Policy Liaison Group on ESG hosted a thought-provoking roundtable with Victoria Collins MP, Dr Nina Seega, and Viola Meyerweissflog from @cisl_cambridge. Together, we explored whether the current approaches to ESG are delivering the systemic change

Thank you to our excellent speakers, chair, and advisory board members for contributing to the discussion.
