2022 ESG RISK MANAGEMENT SUMMIT EUROPE TESTIMONIALS

 1. 
 2. 
 3. 
 4. 

As a professional actively working in the climate risk management space in
financial services specifically, it was an incredibly well curated summit
encompassing all the complicated components of E, S and G.  The panelists and
speakers did a great job of bringing each component together despite the
complexities that exist when trying to digest ESG as a whole. It was insightful
to hear some very different perspectives and starting points in different firms'
'ESG' journeys. 

Enterprise Risk Director, Europe & Asia-Pacific, TD Securities


It was great to attend an in-person event with business risk leaders. This
allowed for a good consensus of opinion into the current thinking around climate
risk and how businesses are embedding this into both ESG and wider sustainable
thinking, as well as some great collaborative conversations via the networking
sessions that were both insightful and constructive for future conversations. I
look forward to attending the next event and recommending their US event to my
international colleagues!

Senior Manager, ESG & Climate Risk Advisory, Forvis


Excellent content and insight from experts. Found this conference very useful to
further building my own understanding. 

Founder, GS2 Partnership


Excellent insights from speakers and great dialogue with participants on
relevant matters
