Both financial and environmental sustainability are listed high on the world’s agenda. Green inclusive finance combines financial inclusion with environmental sustainability. It extends the focus to providing access to finance in which businesses and investments are not only financially empowering but also environmentally sustainable.
The aim of the NpM Conference “Green Inclusive Finance: Extending the impact of investing” is twofold:
- to illustrate the sense of urgency of ‘greening’ the inclusive finance sector; a must-be on the sector’s agenda; and
- to demonstrate real life practices of successful green inclusive finance business models and contemplate how to upscale/replicate these examples; different types of organisations will highlight their efforts.
The conference offers the inclusive finance community a unique platform to foster knowledge sharing.
There will be both a plenary session and breakout sessions. During the plenary session, speakers from the sector will present their thoughts on ‘green inclusive finance (why, how and what is learned?) and will provide an overview of trends and successful initiatives that have set the stage for innovation of the sector in this area.
The four different breakout sessions will address the business perspective and impact of green inclusive finance. How to transform green initiatives into successful business cases? How to look at green inclusive finance when making investment decisions? Should investment managers encourage financial institutions to report on green performance in addition to social performance, and if so, how? And, what kind of partnerships are successful and should be encouraged?
