This event is hosted by the CFA UK Sustainability Community
Join the CFA UK Sustainability Community for an evening of insight, interaction, and impact as we explore the fast-evolving world of sustainable regulation. With global frameworks shifting and investor expectations rising, how can we stay ahead of the curve?
This year’s theme, “Sustainable Regulations in Flux,” brings together leading voices from investment, finance, and policy to decode the regulatory landscape and spotlight what matters most for sustainable investors today.
Rita Hunter, Regulatory Partner and Co-Head of Sustainable Finance at Hogan Lovells, will unpack the growing divergence in global regulation: from the EU’s evolving CSRD and Omnibus Directive to the UK’s regulatory response and the implications of California’s climate disclosure laws. She’ll explore what this fragmentation means for cross-border reporting, investor strategy, and regulatory risk.
A cross-sector panel will follow featuring perspectives from Stefanie Mollin, CFA, Former Global Equities Portfolio Manager, GIB, Alicia Kedzierski Head of Sustainable Finance Department, FCA and others. The panellists will tackle the practical realities of aligning capital with evolving regulations.
Then, over drinks and structured roundtables, we’ll dive into the regulations shaping the next 12 months, including:
-
UK SDR and investment labels: What’s working, what’s not, and what’s next as the regime extends to portfolio management.
-
TNFD, TCFD, and ISSB: How firms are preparing for nature- and climate-related disclosures, and what early adopters are learning.
-
Greenhushing and litigation risk: Are fears of enforcement reshaping sustainability communications?
-
AI, taxonomies, and tech: How emerging tools are helping—or hindering—compliance and reporting.
-
UK taxonomy and just transition: Operationalising principles in practice.
-
Data gaps and reporting pressure: What metrics are needed, and how are firms streamlining internal processes?
Whether you're an asset manager, owner, advisor, or data provider, this is your chance to connect with peers, share strategies, and shape the future of sustainable finance.
