An invitation to Save the date for the upcoming DABOR event on
Monday 10 March 2025 in Utrecht!

Main Theme: The impact of ESG on financial services – What can we learn from banks?
This event aims to explore the critical role of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors in shaping the future of the financial services industry. As stakeholders increasingly demand sustainable and socially responsible practices, banks are under pressure to integrate ESG considerations into their operations, investment strategies, and risk management frameworks. How can we manage that and how can we also manage our own promises regarding the Road to Paris. We identified 4 key topics:
 
1.    Regulatory Landscape: High-over/short overview of current and upcoming ESG regulations affecting banks.
2.    Risk Management: Identifying and mitigating ESG-related risks. The impact of ESG factors on credit risk, market risk, and operational risk and how we measure this, such as double materiality assessment. Also if or how the risk types influence each other.
3.    Sustainable Finance: The role of banks in financing green projects and sustainable initiatives. Inside-out perspective
4.    Performance and Reporting: Best practices for ESG performance measurement and reporting.

After a short introduction of the 4 key topics we will discuss the dependency of all of them. Come, hear and participate in the round table discussion regarding this challenge.
 
And of course we will finish with Drinks & Networking!
 
 
The event will be a hybrid of English and Dutch languages, to allow organisations to present in their operating language and have an open discussion.
