Gain cross-border perspectives on how leading institutional investors are addressing the implications of climate change at our special event during pre-registration at the 2024 PRI-in person conference.
Climate change is a complex financial risk that will impact every global investor. As financial institutions embark on their individual decarbonization journeys, it is imperative that key decision-makers ensure their investment portfolios and strategies remain robust and resilient amidst a wide range of potential climate change-related transition, physical and market risks and implications.
As investors worldwide gather in Toronto for this year’s 16th annual PRI-in person conference, Ortec Finance will be hosting a special evening pre-event on Monday, October 7, at the Intercontinental Hotel, adjacent to the Toronto Convention Centre.
Under the Chatham House rules, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from prominent financial institutions across the UK, European, Asia-Pacific and North American regions on their approaches to addressing the challenges and implications of climate change on their investment portfolio.
The event will commence with a special opening address from De Rui Wong, Senior Vice President, Sustainability Office, GIC, followed by a discussion where our panelists will share their cross-border insights on:
How asset owners are assessing and analyzing potential short and longer-term financial market implications?
The top-down vs bottom-up approach – should one prevail over the other?
Are asset owners and managers overlooking the underlying opportunities and focusing too much on risks?
Best practices in adhering to climate change-related financial disclosures
Following the discussion, guests will be able to connect and engage with their industry peers from around the world over networking drinks.
