mallowstreet Sustainability Indaba 2025

Important

Delegates are expected to attend the full event. We do understand that this is a time commitment in diaries. Please do let us know if you need to step away for a call/meeting and we shall adjust your personal agenda.

At the Sustainability Indaba*, an exclusive, high-impact event tailored specifically for pension professionals, we will be exploring the dynamic and evolving landscape of sustainability investing within UK pension funds. As environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations increasingly influence investment strategies, this full-day conference provides a vital platform for pension fund trustees, managers, advisers, and other stakeholders to engage with leading experts and peers.


Industry experts and learned experienced hands will, through a series of Keynotes, Panels, and interactive Investment Masterclasses, share valuable insights, advanced strategies, and practical knowledge in the arena of Sustainability Investing.


Sustainability as a buzzword, draws the mind to many different avenues. At this Indaba we will be focussing on not only ESG, and how UK pension funds are integrating these factors into their investment decisions. But also the changes Sustainability inevitably brings to the Regulatory Landscape, strategies for Risk Management, Stakeholder Engagement, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) to name a few.


Reserve your place now and join your fellow pension fund trustees, managers, advisors, and other stakeholders to engage with leading experts. Don't miss this chance to learn from the best, network with industry peers, and elevate your expertise.


This event is FREE to attend for investment decision makers and their advisers.
