EXPO REAL: Impact Investing & implementing ESG Strategies Hall A1, Stand132 - International Investors Lounge by Real Asset Media, EXPO Real, Munich | 17:00 - 18:00

As ESG has become an unavoidable priority for investors the focus has shifted from environmental to social impact issues and from statements of intent to actual implementation. Institutional investors are as focused on achieving net zero carbon as they are on responsible impact strategies that target positive social benefits in addition to market-rate returns. Impact investing is now definitely on the agenda, but what does it mean in practice? What are the key drivers and the most effective strategies?

Which countries, sectors and companies have taken a lead? What are the key sectors that fit an impact strategy? How does it apply to the office sector? What about residential? Will the trend focus more capital on areas such as Senior Living, Healthcare, Life Sciences, Affordable Housing? What about urban transformation plans or infrastructure projects? How is impact investing developing in different markets and countries across Europe? Is it a 'one size fits all' approach or are different markets at different stages? As more companies now articulate a social purpose, what do we mean by 'social value' and 'social purpose'?  On the environmental side, what are the main regulatory, technical and financial challenges to becoming ESG-compliant? What innovations are under way? Is 'green washing' now finished as stricter new regulations come into force at EU as well as national level? How can investors put together a cohesive strategy across their business? How can investors transform existing buildings and what role does green finance play?  The role of embedded carbon is being looked at more and more - what will the impact be? How are valuations being affected - has a green premium replaced the brown discount?

These and other questions will be answered by our experts in this time-efficient briefing.
