Sustainable Finance Forum 2025

Sustainable finance has matured into an integral pillar of global markets, yet recent shifts in policy, regulation, and political sentiment present new challenges. The EU’s evolving regulatory landscape, including the Omnibus Directive, aims to streamline and simplify requirements, while in the US, the shifting rhetoric on ESG and climate-focused finance underscores the political volatility shaping global capital flows. At the same time, Asia has emerged as a key driver of sustainable finance, with new initiatives on green taxonomies, blended finance, and disclosure standards. 

As the sector navigates these changes, how will sustainable finance adapt to ensure credibility, resilience, and impact? In an environment that is more uncertain than ever, investors are increasingly demanding transparency and accountability to better understand the risks embedded in their portfolios. As a result, the need for labels and ratings continues to grow, driving demand for expertise and reliable data.

The focus is shifting from broad commitments to precise execution, with transition finance emerging as a crucial bridge between ambition and reality. Moreover, the rise of GSSS bonds and the expanding role of blue finance highlight the increasing specialisation of products for international sustainability-linked investments.

Join the 2025 Sustainable Finance Forum, where we will explore the pressing issues defining the next phase of sustainable finance. The event will feature keynote addresses from Ms Nadia Calviño, President at the European Investment Bank (invited), and Mr Gilles Roth, Luxembourg’s Minister of Finance. Discussions will delve into the evolution of ESG, the capital flows underpinning the EU Green Deal, the strategic direction of labels and ratings, and the role of transition finance in a multipolar economy. 

With insights from leaders in sustainable finance, investors, and financial strategists, this year’s forum will provide a clear assessment of sustainable finance in 2025—the challenges, opportunities, and the path forward.
