A cup of Hanken - Sustainable Investing
Sustainable investing - Financing the future?
Sustainable Investing is an increasingly popular phenomena in the current financial markets. What are the impacts of sustainable investing and how can these be measured? Who are the sustainable investors and what is the difference to Impact Investors? How is the upcoming regulation going to change the field in the future? How can a Senian Social Justice thinking help in setting up Impact Investing arrangements to benefit future generations?
These topics and future avenues of sustainable and impact investing are discussed by Associate Professors Othmar Lehner and Hanna Silvola in the new Hanken webinar series A cup of Hanken.
The event will be hosted by Camilla Wardi (Head of Corporate Relations and Outreach at Hanken).
The event is broadcasted live from Hanken and participation will occur online through Teams Live Event on Tuesday 1 June 2021 at 9.00-10.00.
