‘Reasons for optimism - How we can shift capital flows and accelerate change.’ In partnership with INFINZ, CSF was pleased to welcome international experts Sean Kidney, Co-founder and CEO, Climate Bonds Initiative, Mushtaq Kapasi, Managing Director, Chief Representative Asia Pacific - ICMA - International Capital Market Association and Kristy Graham, Chief Executive Australian Sustainable Finance Institute to share their insights about global trends and innovation in sustainable finance and reasons for optimism. Key takeaways from the discussion: - Direction of travel = Country-level transition plans, accompanied by investment plans. - Traditional success metric has been the size of the green bond market - but investors and governments are now looking more at the overall impact of these instruments and their investments. - For taxonomies and disclosure standards - usability is key and clarity of purpose is helpful for designing usable tools.

We are excited to host McKinsey’s inaugural #Green #Business #Building (GBB) Summit in Central Europe taking place in Warsaw on October 24, 2024. The transition towards green and #sustainable technologies is amongst the most significant forces shaping the world’s major economies from Europe to the U.S. and China. Trillions of USD could be unlocked via new value pools emerging across renewables, storage, hydrogen, recycling, clean mobility, sustainable real estate, and beyond. At the GBB Summit we will look into how Central Europeans can very practically do even more to grow and scale profitable businesses in this space. Building on experience in hosting over a dozen GBB Summits for CXOs globally – from Stockholm to Sydney, and San Francisco – we look forward to organizing an event that will bring together 100+ business leaders from start-ups, incumbents, banks, and investors with an existing or contemplated green business building agenda. If you are interested in joining the summit, please send an email to gbb_ce_summit@mckinsey.com or contact Jakub Zivansky. #GreenBusinessBuilding Jan Juchelka Pavel Brůžek Petr Míkovec Jaroslav Macek

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending Danske Bank’s #SustainTomorrow event, where I was inspired by keynote speakers like Noreena Hertz and Mark Stevenson. Their insights served as a powerful reminder of our current stance on sustainability and the significant lack of trust the next generation places in big corporations to prioritize society's best interests. The sobering truths they shared underscore the crucial role each of us plays in driving our world towards a more sustainable and unified future. I also had the opportunity to hear from the CEO & Co-founder of Netcompany, André Rogaczewski; Mette Louise Kaagaard CEO of Microsoft Denmark; Nicolaj Gudbergsen Head of GenAI at Danske Bank; and Astrid Haug, Author, as they discussed the importance of maintaining trustful business relationships in an increasingly digital world. A special thank you to Jakob Illeborg for facilitating a thoughtful dialogue, and to Carsten Egeriis for the warm introduction that set the tone for a meaningful event. #SustainTomorrow #Sustainability #ESG #DanskeBank #PositionGreen #2024
