Webinar: The race to net zero

How to create tangible transition plans

About the webinar

This webinar is specially designed for financial services companies seeking to navigate the path to net zero.

Despite regulatory disruptions around the world, the transition to net zero remains high on the Swiss and European political agenda. This is creating significant business opportunities for companies that embark on this journey. For financial institutions, a lack of quality data, customer preferences, and difficulties in tracking financed emissions make achieving net zero a particularly demanding project.

Nevertheless, the financial services industry plays a crucial role in the transition to a low-carbon economy: banks, insurance companies, asset managers, pension funds and institutional investors all help direct capital towards businesses and projects that facilitate decarbonisation.

The webinar will guide you through the main regulatory expectations and requirements for net zero transition plans. We’ll be looking at qualitative and quantitative best practices that will help you formulate a credible and sustainable transition plan. To provide even richer insights into how the best in class are approaching the challenges in practice, the session will include a panel discussion featuring external guests.
