Sir Roger Gifford’s talk focused on the strategy of the Green Finance Institute, and the UK’s potential as a world-leading hub for green finance. He argued that the economy will be affected by political reactions to climate change, but pointed out that if a climate risk can be measured, we can make better decisions and understand how to bring in risk ratings based on climate. A decade ago, the conversation on purpose-linked finance was about sacrificing returns, now we see reduced risk and better growth. He argued against divestment from emission-heavy industries, and advocated for using stakes in companies to drive greener behaviour.

#EthicalFinance2019

Ethical Finance 2019 (EF2019) was organised by the Global Ethical Finance Initiative (GEFI) which oversees, organises and coordinates a series of programmes to promote finance for positive change.

With the Bank of England recognising climate change as a core financial risk, the proliferation of the UN SDGs and the ongoing dichotomy for asset managers wrestling with the social impact versus economic return conundrum; the financial system is undergoing material transformational challenge.

Together with UNDP and the Scottish Government, GEFI brought 350 of the world’s foremost business, political, civic and social leaders to Edinburgh on the 8th & 9th of October 2019 to network, share, co-develop and shape a fairer, more sustainable financial system capable of delivering positive change.


Ethical Finance will take place on the 6th & 7th of October 2020 in Edinburgh. For details and tickets, please visit ethicalfinance2020.com.
