Introduction

Candriam and Robeco, two leading pioneers in sustainable investing, are pleased to invite you to an exclusive event dedicated to the evolving landscape of impact investing.

As anti-ESG sentiment gains ground – particularly in the U.S., where some asset managers are pulling back from sustainable initiatives – Robeco and Candriam are choosing a different path. In the spirit of standing firm in our convictions, we are joining forces to reaffirm our shared commitment to delivering long-term, measurable impact through investments.
As Maximus from Gladiator would say: “Hold the line.” And that’s exactly what we intend to do.

This joint event will bring together expert insights from both the public and private markets, culminating in an engaging panel discussion on the future of impact investing.
