Webinar: integrity pitfalls in Sustainable Finance

Sustainable finance is growing rapidly, but doing the right thing is often more complex than it seems. Shifting norms, high expectations, and vague definitions create tensions that go straight to the heart of integrity issues.

On Thursday, 6 November 2025, DSI and CISI hosted an interactive webinar in English that explored the three main pitfalls in sustainable finance:

• Managing expectations – Who is responsible for driving sustainability: companies, investors, or the government?
• Effective communication – How can we clarify the nuances and trade-offs in sustainable finance?
• Safeguarding integrity – How can we prevent rules and regulations from unintentionally blocking real change?
