Sustainability summit 2020
Closing the gaps | 2020 sustainability summit

For our 2020 sustainability summit we chose to step back and try to take in the bigger picture. The Institute believes there are four clear gaps that must be closed if we are to be successful in investing sustainably: skills, data, collaboration and purpose. During two deep-dive sessions we explored these, inviting ideas from attendees as to which actions we can take.
See a summary of the event.
The summit was split into two parts:
- Day 1 – A live virtual session to discuss the skills and the data gaps. This session featured insights from working group members and other leading investment professionals, and considered closing the skills and data gaps in pursuing sustainability
Watch event recording - Day 2 – A live virtual session to discuss closing the collaboration and the purpose gaps. This session also featured insights from leading investment experts and ended by encouraging all involved to agree and prioritise the actions investment organisations need to take.
