Sustainability is shifting from a compliance requirement to a central driver of credit investing. Geopolitical pressures, energy security concerns, and heightened governance scrutiny are accelerating this change, while environmental sustainability is increasingly viewed as a determinant of long-term resilience and value creation.

This session will explore how reframing ESG as a strategic lens in credit allocation, underwriting, and risk assessment. Gain insights into the evolving expectations of asset owners, the new risks and opportunities this creates across public and private credit markets, and how mainstream strategies can deliver both performance and measurable real-world impact.
