Fostering sustainability and empowering women leaders and entrepreneurs
Author: Richmond American University London
Inma Ramos, Director of the Institute for Corporate Sustainability at the University, recently participated in the second annual event, “Women Mobilising Sustainability across the Financial Ecosystem”, held during London Climate Week.
It was a great opportunity to discover innovative products from female-led businesses across the UK and take part in engaging discussions.
A panel of female leaders led by Caroline Haas, Head of Climate and ESG Capital Markets at NatWest, shared their views on how sustainability can create business opportunities and enhance enterprise value, highlighting the economic benefits of sustainability strategies.
Here are Caroline’s top 3 takeaways from the event:
✅ Businesses need long-term regulatory certainty: it’s not just about how much governments invests, but how consistent policies are maintained over business cycles.
✅ Climate impacts nature – but nature benefits climate: investing in strategies that foster nature preservation will have a positive impact to help mitigate climate change.
✅ Embed sustainability at every level: only by incorporating ESG relevant data from the boardroom to the mailroom and beyond-can you generate the momentum and understanding for qualified, impactful decisions.
