9:35: Keynote: Empowering the Conscious Consumer

•    New research into what consumers truly want when it comes to sustainable finance, and how financial services firms can accelerate the transition to more sustainable saving, investment and spending.
•    PA asked over 3,500 consumers globally about the barriers and opportunities to them “going green” with their finances, as well as their expectations of their financial services providers. 
•    This keynote will share insights into the 1) the most significant gaps identified in consumer knowledge around sustainability, impact, and financial services, 2) the emerging consumer ‘personas’ around sustainable finance, and 3) the tipping point when consumers expect green finance to be the norm (it’s closer than you think!). 

Mark Lancelott, Head of Sustainable Business Design, PA Consulting

9:50 Panel: What does the research mean?

  • Key takeaways from a banking, wealth management and pensions perspective on what this public view on sustainable finance means for them. 
  • What will be the biggest barriers/challenges for how FS firms respond?
