The event gathered over 100 impact investors from 40 organizations to discuss #ESG and impact topics. During the workshop, they engaged in discussions on crucial issues such as #climaterisk, gender lens investing, #humanrights, and impact measurement. 🏆 We are proud to announce that Anne won a prize for her commitment to sustainability risks and her contributions to the task force. This recognition highlights the importance of collaboration and the collective effort to advance our understanding of “Outside-in ESG Risks in financial inclusion.” A heartfelt congratulations to Anne for this well-deserved honour!
