Conference on finance and sustainable performance

The Institute for Financial Research (renamed the Swedish House of Finance) organizes an annual conference on a theme in financial economics. This year's theme is financial decisions and sustainable outcomes. The conference is based on a dialog between academic economists and representatives from the financial industry. We intend to address the following questions, among others: Can we reduce the climate impact of banks without risking financial stability? Can we offer green investment products that do not make unsustainable promises to households? Is it realistic to promise higher returns in assets or strategies designed to encourage sustainable business models? Are investors willing to accept lower returns for the sake of the planet?
