Retail Finance: The Missing Link in Impact Investing?

As the world faces growing social and environmental challenges, the financial sector plays a crucial role in channelling resources toward sustainable solutions. But how can retail finance – serving individual investors and consumers – become a catalyst for impactful change?

Individual investors are increasingly considering the impact of investments and aligning portfolios to their values. Indeed, a Deloitte survey​ of retail investors found that 78% consider sustainability an important aspect. However, several challenges still remain, such as navigating regulations, inherent complexity for consumers, transparency & greenwashing risks, and the lack of standard ESG metrics.

At this first GreenBuzz finance event of the year, expect to gain insights into the latest retail investment trends, strategies, and technologies, as well as how investors, banks and asset managers can capitalise on the growing demand for sustainable investment opportunities.
