Divestment for impact: New approaches to investing for corporate sustainability
12:00 PM - 12:15 PM

Hear why divesting from certain banks and insurers—those that finance fossil fuels, deforestation, or unsustainable industries—can significantly strengthen a company's sustainability strategy. With financial institutions playing a critical role in funding projects that either exacerbate or address climate change and environmental degradation, businesses must critically evaluate where their capital is being stored and what it supports. The panel will explore how to identify red-flag partnerships, alternative green financial institutions, and the broader impact of aligning corporate values with financial practices.
