Sustainable Transition Day

Amundi's Sustainable Transition Day

During the Sustainable Transition Day we explored how a sustainable transition will require urgent and coordinated action from all players, including the financial industry if we want to make the most of the significant environmental, social and financial opportunities a steady and orderly transition can potentially produce.

Key notes speakers:

• Paul Polman, Business leader, campaigner and co-author of Net Positive
• Romina Boarini, Director of the OECD WISE Centre
• Marc-André Selosse, Professor at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle
• Marcel Haag, Director for Horizontal Policies at DG FISMA) of the European Commission

Key highlights of the event:

• Understanding why the transition needs to take place and what the future will look like
• Making the green transition fair and acceptable to all
• Reconciling Environmental Transition and Biodiversity preservation
• Sustainable Transition: An EU Policy Making perspective

Key takeaways of the session:

• In Paul’s view, businesses are ahead of where they were 3/5 years ago on climate

• We are now at a point where the cost of not acting is becoming significantly higher than the cost of acting
• We must stay the course and with more determination, accelerate the change
