Pension fund seminar 'From Impact Investing to a Climate-Neutral and Circular Economy’
How is the impact of investments on circularity and climate neutrality measured? Which standards and frameworks are relevant?
How do impact investing and the transition to a climate-neutral and circular economy relate to one another within investment policy? How to asses the risk-return characteristics of circular or climate-neutral investments?
How is impact investing practically implemented across different asset classes (equities, fixed income, private markets)? Are there examples of successful allocations to circular business models or low-carbon technologies?
How should a pension fund weigh the role of security and defence in the transition to a climate-neutral economy? Is investing in defence compatible with impact investing?
These and other key questions will be addressed during the educational event ‘From Impact Investing to a Climate-Neutral and Circular Economy’, organised by Financial Investigator on Thursday 30 October 2025, from 11.00 am to 5.20 pm, for pension fund board members, hosted at a.s.r.'s head offices in Utrecht.
