Past events

Green Finance Summit: "Investing in Actions"

In June 2019, members of the Ashurst Sustainability team attended the Green Finance Summit "Investing in Actions", which showcased the City of London's latest green financial policy, market developments and thought leadership. Read more about it in our press release "Ashurst supports Green Finance Summit 2019".

We have also run a number of Green Accelerator sessions alongside the Climate Bonds Initiative that bring together people in the industry to discuss how we can drive sustainable agendas in business.

Transition Finance: what does good look like?

In November 2021, we were delighted to host an informal discussion with Michelle Horsfield from Climate Bond Initiative on 'what good looks like in transition finance'. This session covered what a credible transition plan looks like; recent market trends and developments; and how we can achieve the wider Paris Agreement goals.
