On 24th October 2024, over 20 experts gathered at Accuracy\u2019s Paris office for the Sustainable Finance Summit.<\/p>\n

Here are some key takeaways:
\n– $5 trillion: This is the global financing required annually to mitigate climate change until 2030. For perspective, the global GDP in 2022 was slightly over $100 trillion.
\n– The integration of ESG issues is evolving from a \u201ctick the box\u201d exercise into a critical business imperative that drives long-term value.
\n– Blended finance is emerging as a game-changer: By combining public and private capital, blended finance reduces investment risks and mobilises funds for projects that might otherwise struggle to attract private investment.
\n– Timing is everything: Later is too late.<\/p>\n

As we concluded during this summit, \u201cthere is no sustainability without profitability, but no business can thrive in an unsustainable world.\u201d It\u2019s time to act\u2014better, faster, and stronger.<\/p>\n

Thank you to our panelists and our co-organiser Global Ethical Finance Initiative (GEFI), for pushing the boundaries on these critical discussions.<\/p>\n
