[event-date]
The conference will include a day of sustainable investment-related sessions, including a keynote session with Sacha Sadan, Director of ESG at the Financial Conduct Authority, and panel sessions with industry leaders. In addition, there will be an opportunity to network at a drinks reception.
The conference will showcase the IFoA’s commitment to sustainability, and the intention is to not only raise awareness of and highlight the need for sustainable investment but also to ensure actuaries have a mutual understanding of their professional responsibility in this area.
