Reflecting on PwC Conference: The Future of Transition Finance 🌍 Stephanie Bilo, Chief Client & Investment Solutions Officer at responsAbility spoke at the 𝗘𝗦𝗚 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 by PwC, where she explored the evolving landscape of transition finance in an increasingly complex regulatory and political environment. Key Takeaways: ✅ Challenges remain, from political headwinds in the US to increasing regulatory scrutiny in Europe. ✅ Investor interest endures—despite market shifts, capital continues to flow into sustainable funds. ✅ The role of transition finance is critical - not just in funding already green companies, but in supporting high-emitting sectors on credible decarbonization pathways. The conversation on "green to green" vs. transition investing is more relevant than ever. As markets demand clearer definitions and measurable impact, responsAbility remains committed to science-based investment strategies that drive real change while delivering returns. A huge thank you to PwC Switzerland for organizing and to all fellow speakers for an insightful discussion! We look forward to what’s ahead in transition finance. #ESG #TransitionFinance #SustainableInvesting #NetZero
