Jersey has a responsibility to leverage its expertise and capital for the transition to an environmentally and socially sustainable global economy. As a dynamic, focussed and forward-thinking international finance centre, we have the power to accelerate this journey and help create a brighter and sustainable future for all.
Last year, we commissioned Andrew Mitchell, Founder and CEO of Equilibrium Futures, to support us in developing a ten-year strategy to build on Jersey’s reputation as a jurisdiction of choice for sustainable finance.
At this event, we unveiled Jersey’s new sustainable finance strategy, articulated around a collective 2030 Vision with buy-in from our industry, government, and key partners, as well as an initial two-year plan to build momentum on our journey towards a sustainable future. In addition to the agenda below, attendees heard a series of insightful updates from some of our key partners in industry.
