How can we protect data when cybercrime is on the rise? How can we ensure confidentiality and integrity when performing real-time exchanges of data with the outside world? Which policies and procedures are needed to ensure good corporate governance in this respect? And what measures should be put in place when dealing with external service providers? In this exclusive podcast, our speakers Francis Kass, Jean-Marc Ueberecken and Astrid Wagner worked though these important questions with David Hagen (Hagen Advisory), ICT and cybersecurity advisor for the financial sector and former Head of IT Supervision and Support PFS at the CSSF and Chief Information Officer in charge of the Commission’s Information Systems.

In 2015 the UN came up with an answer to these challenges that our societies must face, in the form of 17 Sustainable Development Goals that constitute a global political agenda to coordinate actions towards a more sustainable future.

This political agenda was later taken over by the Commission who came up with its sustainable finance action plan in March 2018.

The work of the Commission participates to the effort of the EU to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050 and is organized towards three main objectives:

- Reorienting capital flows towards sustainable investments

- Mainstreaming sustainability into risk management

- Fostering transparency and Long-termism

Under environmental, social and governance criteria, also called ESG, Finance is being transformed to meet the challenges facing humanity. Stéphane Badey and Antoine Peter drive us through what has become a clear point of focus for most if not all companies and investment funds.

Speakers:

- Stéphane Badey, Partner, Arendt Regulatory & Consulting
