CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

The FT/IFC Sustainable Finance Conference is the major event on sustainable finance for industry leaders, corporate decision-makers and financiers from around the world.

With the global economy in turmoil and the plight of many vulnerable parts of society worsening, there is a unique opportunity for sustainable finance institutions to shape the response of governments and influence corporate behaviour in resolving our most pressing global problems. Flows of private sector capital now dwarf official aid, creating jobs and stimulating economic growth in developing countries and emerging markets. Yet the fundamental challenges of resource security and climate change remain pressing, and large sections of society – in particular, women – continue to suffer social and financial exclusion that hinders development. The conference will explore how financial institutions from both developed and emerging economies can tackle these issues, the lessons they have already learned on sustainability, how they can influence business more widely, and what governments can learn from them. It will also examine the role of newer players such as private equity firms whose rapidly growing investments in sustainable projects outside the developed economies have used enhanced risk management techniques to identify profitable opportunities.

KEy thEMES tO BE DISCUSSED INCLUDE:

• the global crisis – threat or opportunity for sustainable finance?

• Private equity and responsible investment – the next frontier

• harnessing technology and innovation in sustainable finance

• Women and sustainable finance – the economic, social and business case for investing in businesses owned by women, and for backing female entrepreneurship

10:50 Coffee

11:20 Private Equity and Responsible Investment – the New Frontier Cash not conscience has traditionally been the spark which alights private equity, but with the realisation that pro-sustainability strategies make sound business sense, pioneering private equity firms are now factoring environmental social and governance decisions into their investment considerations-and at the same time are realising benefits in terms of enhanced risk management, reputation and opportunities for new business in sustainability driven markets. What is the business case for responsible investment for private equity firms and the impacts on returns, and on exits? What are the particular challenges of a responsible investment approach in emerging markets?

How are financial institutions evaluating and harnessing technology trends to achieve key sustainability goals? What are the most exciting new innovations in sustainable finance and how and where are they being implemented? Are the world’s most pressing needs being addressed, or are someareas of concern being left behind?

CONFERENCE AGENDACONFERENCE AGENDA

Yet women continue to face barriers when it comes to accessing finance to start or expand their businesses. On average, only 5-10% of women-owned entities have access to commercial bank loans, and women-owned businesses account for only 3% of venture capital investments globally. Financing and supporting women-owned businesses advances development goals and provides a vital source of economic growth and opportunity. What is the economic, business and social case for investing in women-owned businesses? What are the barriers which women-owned businesses face in accessing finance in both advanced and emerging economies, and how can they be addressed?
