Join us for an autumn of events with Design Portfolio

This autumn we are co-hosting a suite of events with our partners, to bring together our clients and the wider business and policy community around key discussions: the next big trends for corporate reporting, ESG and climate. 

Zero Emissions Solutions Conference

02 Novembmer 2021, 4pm BST

Our Sustainability Director Martha McPherson will be speaking at the Zero Emissions Solutions Conference as part of COP26, at the session Climate Finance: Making Good on the Rhetoric? on 2nd Nov at 4pm BST (virtual event).

As nations are ramping up their commitments to transformative action, the question of efficient financing looms over ambitious promises. Our panelists will discuss suggestions for stakeholder collaboration and concrete solutions to help achieve our shared ambitions within the framework of the Paris Agreement. These speakers are drawn from the SDG Action initiative. SDG Action is a new initiative launched by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) to support the UN’s Decade of Action – the global effort to mobilize governments, businesses, and civil society to deliver the SDGs by 2030.
