Moral Money Summit Americas
The debate around sustainability in business and finance had never been more intense – or more urgent. Corporate leaders faced pressure to respond to climate risks and an accelerating energy transition, and to support progress on social and economic justice – amid a growing political backlash against such efforts that increasingly targeted private-sector companies.
While the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act had unleashed significant financial support for green energy projects, the US presidential election created major policy uncertainty for low-carbon investment. Advances in AI and other technology had driven excitement about new opportunities to tackle environmental and social challenges – but also raised concerns about their huge energy demand. Companies and investors also had to take into account the roiling controversy around diversity and inclusion, as well as the increasing scrutiny of their impacts on biodiversity.
Leading investors, corporate executives, and policymakers gathered at the 5th edition of Financial Times’ Moral Money Summit Americas for a wide-ranging exploration of the key themes in the sustainable business and finance agenda. This two-day event was packed with compelling debate and powerful insights on issues that no leader could afford to ignore.
