We are pleased to invite you to our next Ethical Finance Round Table ‘Leadership: Embedding Responsibility’ which will take place on 5th May 2021 at 16:00 BST.

We will be welcoming three excellent industry- leaders to shed light on this important conversation: Michael Cole-Fontayn, Chairman of CISI, Helen Cook, Chief HR Officer of The  NatWest Group, and Karina Robinson, CEO of Robinson Hambro and Chair of the Lord Mayor’s Appeal Advisory Board.

Leadership is often an overlooked factor in the drive to create socially and environmentally responsible organisations in finance and beyond. While it is easy to make bold statements about social and environmental issues, real change can only be achieved via effective leadership at all levels of an organisation, ensuring that employees are empowered and motivated to enact changes.

We are delighted to be able to shed new light on this vitally important conversation. Discussion points will include:

  • Why should organisations want to embed social and environmental responsibility in their practices?
  • What role do ambitious targets on social and environmental issues play in driving change?
  • What role does organisational culture play in ensuring social and environmental issues are properly accounted for, and how can leaders foster a positive culture?
  • How can leaders communicate effectively with their organisations about changes?
  • How can companies effectively execute policies on diversity and inclusion (e.g. around gender, ethnicity or sexuality) when there is internal pushback on them?
  • What aspects of leadership on social and environmental issues are particular to the finance industry?

This event forms part of our Path to COP26 campaign.
