DESCRIPTION:The European capital markets ecosystem is expected to contribut e to long-term sustainable development. This means that investors should b e well equipped to take into consideration other aspects than the purely f inancial\, such as materially relevant environmental\, social and governan ce (ESG) factors\, in an integrated and transparent manner.\n\nHowever\, t he incorporation of these broad and sometimes internally contradicting com ponents as well as the evolving policy framework and industry practice pre sent significant challenges for the actors involved. During this year’s CEPS-ECMI conference hosted by ABN AMRO Clearing in Amsterdam\, policy-mak ers\, supervisors\, market participants and academics are invited to share their experiences and views on the implementation of the sustainability i n financial markets.\n\nHosted by\n\n \;\n\n\n\n\n\n13:00 - 14:00 Regi stration and lunch\n\n14:00 -14-15 Welcome remarks\n\n  Jan Bart de Boer \, Chief Commercial Officer\, ABN AMRO Clearing\n  Karel Lanooo\, Chief Executive Officer\, CEPS/ECMI\n\n14:15 -15:30 Session I – How to promot e sustainability considerations into investment decisions?\n\nIn the past couple of years\, there have already been many initiatives undertaken to i nclude sustainability considerations into the decision making process of i nvestors as well as the policy framework.

However\, many call for a stronger involvement from such facilitators of financial market transactions to promote/discour age (un)sustainable investments. This session will discuss the extent that FMIs and other players can contribute to substantially changing the inves tment/securities value chain.\n\n  Pauline Engelberts\, Global Chief Op erations Officer\, ABN AMRO Clearing\n  Representative from EuroStoxx\n  Other speakers to be confirmed\n\nModerator: Karel Lanooo\, Chief Exe cutive Officer\, CEPS/ECMI\n\n16:45-17:00 – Wrap up &\; closing rema rks\n\n  Karel Lannoo\, Chief Executive Officer\, CEPS/ECMI\n  Jan Ba rt de Boer\, Chief Commercial Officer\, ABN AMRO Clearing.\n\n17:00-18:00 – Cocktail\n\nMore information ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.duurzaam-beleggen.nl/wordpress/wp-co ntent/uploads/2020/01/sfs.png CATEGORIES:Professional/Bedrijf LOCATION:Hoofdkantoor ABN AMRO\, Gustav Mahlerlaan 10\, Amsterdam\, Nederla nd GEO:52.337039;4.874773 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Gustav Mahlerlaan 10\, Amst erdam\, Nederland;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Hoofdkantoor ABN AMRO:geo:52. 337039,4.874773 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Amsterdam X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Amsterdam BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20191027T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0200 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:CET END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
