Sustainability and ESG's role in Finance

Join us for a Fintech Meetup Event on Sustainability and ESG's role in Finance, organized by Sprintform and OTP Lab. The event will take place on March 27th, 2023, on-site at OTP HQ in Budapest, located at Váci út 135-138, entry is at BSR Center between buildings B and C.

As Finance companies take on an increasingly important role in driving the climate transition and promoting sustainable business practices, ESG considerations have become a key factor in the decision-making process. According to Morningstar, assets under management in global sustainable funds hit nearly $2.5trn at the end of December 2022, whilst according to Bloomberg, global energy transition investments have reached a new high in 2022, at $1.1trn. This indicates a growing interest among investors and financiers in using environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors to inform their investment decisions, and highlights the increasing importance of ESG considerations in the finance industry. At our event, we will explore the transformative impact of ESG on bank financing, and discuss how the financial sector can contribute to achieving sustainability and climate goals.

We invite you to participate in this informative and engaging discussion, featuring expert panelists from prominent players in the region's largest bank - OTP, from EY consultancy company, and from UK's Barclays CIB. The panel talk participants are:

• Gergely Pókos, Managing Director, OTP Green Directory

• Christian Müller, Strategist, Barclays
