The green transition is having an increasingly significant impact on investment decisions, risk management, and the long-term competitiveness of companies. For industry, it entails major investments in decarbonisation and new technologies; for companies, it requires the transformation of business models and resource management; while the financial and insurance sectors are increasingly incorporating climate-related and transition risks into their assessments.

The panel will explore how companies make decisions about investing in sustainability, where technology and the circular economy are already creating new business value, how the assessment of business and climate-related risks is evolving, and whether the green transition can simultaneously drive competitiveness and long-term growth.
