Breakout Session - Sustainability Under Pressure: How Corporates, Banks, and Investors are Navigating (invite only)

In 2025, the sustainability landscape is more complex than ever. Corporate sustainability leaders are navigating a rapidly evolving regulatory environment and heightened scrutiny around ESG communications while aiming to build resilient, long-term strategies. At the same time, ESG-linked financing is under pressure, with companies treading cautiously amid market volatility and reputational risks. Banks find themselves at the intersection of these competing forces grappling with declining structuring flow, shifting client expectations, and increasing pressure on sustainable finance business lines. Despite these headwinds, the investor appetite for credible, high-impact ESG investments remains strong. 

 

This roundtable session brings together corporate sustainability executives and sustainable finance leaders to unpack the most urgent challenges they face today. Together, they’ll explore how organizations are adapting their strategies, innovating under pressure, and finding new ways to drive meaningful progress in an uncertain marketplace.
