DESCRIPTION

TBLI CONFERENCE™ EUROPE 2014 took place on 28 & 29 October 2014 in Amsterdam, hosted by the VU University Amsterdam. The program included a wide selection of topics high on the agenda for sustainable finance professionals. Among them were trends in impact investing, impact measurement, philanthropy and program-related investing, ESG integration, ESG in fixed income markets, green bonds, shareholder engagement, strategies on fossil fuel investing and managing ESG risks. Reflecting the year's theme for TBLI CONFERENCES, "Connecting the Dots", we had included several workshops held at previous events in Zurich, New York and Oslo so that we can build on their learnings and insights.
