RI Europe 2018

dinsdag 05 juni 2018

RI Europe, the continent’s leading sustainable business and finance conference is back in 2018 on 5th-6th June at London’s best conference venue directly opposite the iconic Houses of Parliament: etc.venues County Hall.

And this year, we are stepping up another gear in terms of the quality of content and speakers, the depth and rigour with which topics will be addressed, and the ‘challenge’ we are posing ourselves for the event: to address, answer and ‘problem solve’ real sustainable finance questions with a view to change and action.

This year’s 11th annual conference is the place to be for those that are serious about responsible investment and sustainable finance.

  • Monday 4th June: Opening Drinks Reception
  • Tuesday 5th & Wednesday 6th June: Main Conference
  • Tuesday 5th June from 7pm: RI Awards & Dinner

Among the speakers will be FMO's very own Emily Goodall, Manager, Development Impact and Sustainability talking about how impact can be measured and presented in a meaningful way.
FMO Investment Management will be represented by Martine van Aalst-Ebbers
