Sustainable Finance: Risks & Policy

Paul Fisher, Fellow, Cambridge University for Sustainability Leadership & Board Chairman, LBMA; Terry Heymann, Chief Financial Officer, WGC.

In this week’s webinar, we wanted to take a look at our most popular webinar since this series started.

Dr Paul Fisher and Terry Heymann discussed what sustainability means and the importance of ESG. Paul considered how we should think about the risks and opportunities sustainability presents to the financial sector, before looking at how regulators globally are responding to those risks.

Terry presented WGC’s findings on climate change, tracking gold’s carbon footprint through the supply chain, and considered how reducing this footprint can benefit the mining and investment industries.
