 ant
DESCRIPTION:Following the success in 2016 of ShareAction’s first European
  conference\, Responsible Investment in Europe\, we are again bringing to
 gether leading players from across Europe’s investment sector\, civil so
 ciety and policy community to debate and shape the future of investment in

 The Hague on 14 &amp\; 15 September and we’d love to see you there. The
  full programme can be seen here.\n\nSerious momentum has built around th
 e sustainable finance agenda in Europe. Building on the creation of the EU
  High-Level Expert Group on Sustainable Finance\, the Financial Stability 
 Board’s Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures and an incre
 asing number of civil society programmes focused on finance\, the conditio
 ns are right to achieve a greater shift of the system\, towards the delive
 ry of investment practices that truly serve savers\, society and the envir
 onment.\n\nSubstantial effort is needed to ensure that private capital acc
 elerates the delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris A
 greement on climate change. No sector can achieve this task in isolation\,
  which is why we are again bringing together leaders from Europe’s inves
 tment sector\, civil society and policy community to debate and shape the 
 future of investment in the region.\n\nSessions will cover:\n\n 	How we en
 sure major European investors make a real impact as responsible investors 
 and are accountable for their investment strategies and decisions\n 	How 
 civil society can step up its engagement with the investment system and c
 hallenge it in the interests of accelerating delivery of the Sustainable D
 evelopment Goals and the Paris Agreement on climate change\n 	The role of 
 European policy-makers in creating an effective regulatory framework tha
 t makes Europe’s investment industry competitive while serving the publi
 c interest.\n\nWhat we want to achieve:\n\n 	Articulate a compelling visio
 n for a European investment system that drives sustainable business practi
 ces in Europe and beyond.\n 	Build on the interim recommendations of the H
 igh-Level Expert Group on Sustainable Finance\, to debate next steps for c
 ementing Europe’s lead as a global centre of excellence in responsible i
 nvestment\, while influencing standards in other regions of the world.\n 	
 Present exemplary case studies in responsible investment\, policy-making a
 nd regulation to cross-pollinate best practice across European borders.\n

 nd the theme of responsible investment.\n\nSome of our exciting speakers i
