🌿 Good Morning from Greenbank Investments Edinburgh! 🌟 We’re thrilled to kick off Day 1 of the Impact Investment Symposium 2024: Driving the Future Evolution of ESG! Over the next two days, thought leaders, innovators, and changemakers will come together to explore how sustainable forestry can be a cornerstone for ecological restoration, carbon sequestration, and community wealth building. 🎤 Keynote Highlight: Dr. David Brand, Executive Chair of New Forests, will open today with his insights on “Adopt, Adapt, and Advance”—an action-focused approach to ESG. With over $8 billion in sustainable forestry assets under management, Dr. Brand is uniquely positioned to inspire strategies that drive both environmental and economic impact. 🏴Scotland’s £1 billion forestry sector, supporting over 34,000 jobs, is the perfect backdrop for discussions that align with the UN Strategic Plan for Forests 2017-2030 and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Today's Agenda: Morning: A global view of sustainable forestry, innovative financing strategies, and best practices. Afternoon: Exploring technology, innovation, and in-depth case studies.
