A captivated audience stayed in their seats for this final panel of the day. An excellent collection of innovative thinkers included Eila Kreivi (EIB) Tapiwa Sikipa (The World Bank) Sonja Laud (LGIM) and Michael Marshall (Railpen) held a fantastic discussion asking if ESG really is a route to Net Zero.
