  A NEW WORLD: Shaping the future of ESG


    #UniCreditESGDay

 

    Streaming live on November 19th, 10.00-12.00 (CET).

 

We are hosting this year's event in a new world. A world that has become increasingly divided on ESG.

 

ESG Day 2025, streamed live from UniCredit HQ, will focus on the difficult and unanswered questions about the future of environmental and social strategy, the social impacts of the climate crisis and why - despite headwinds - it is still necessary and urgent to commit to ESG.

 

Through a series of panels and speeches, expert speakers will challenge the status quo, prompt new thinking, and tackle key topics such as:

 

  • The future of ESG - passing trend or an economic necessity? 
  • Financing the transition - how banking can unlock opportunities for business in an uncertain world?
  • Policy under pressure - the role of EU regulation in enabling a sustainable transition
  • Integrating nature and biodiversity into financial decision-making
  • A better future - the evolving role of banks in driving social progress

 

We will be tackling this and more, alongside local events tackling the specific ESG priorities in each of our markets.
