Sustainable Finance &
Climate Risk Event
Climate risk management, ESG data and reporting
New regulations, the risk of biodiversity loss; the transition presents the financial industry with both huge challenges and risks, as opportunities. Meanwhile, the sustainability transition needs to be accelerated, and the financial sector is the key player to dictate the speed. Current economic and social crises create an urgency to intensify our efforts towards a sustainable financial system. There is still a long way to go if we want to meet the objectives of the European Green Deal.

Walter Faaij
Corporate anthropologist, culture consultant
Green Culture Lab
Walter Faaij (1984) is a corporate anthropologist, culture consultant and keynote speaker. Walter founded Green Culture Lab in 2010 and is an expert on sustainability and corporate culture change. Walter helps companies and organizations to anchor sustainability in
their DNA and corporate culture. Because change is not only about technology and the business case, but much more about people.
Sustainability requires a collective mindshift, new behaviour and a culture change.
Walter is an experienced keynote speaker on sustainability, corporate culture and building cultures with sustainability at heart. His style is anthropological-exotic and corporate-pragmatic. Is curious to the bone, still hasn’t figured out why people do what they do. Loves to visit exotic places like Greenland, Spitsbergen or Mongolia.
