Strategies for better business
The debate around sustainability in business & finance has never been more intense - or more urgent. Corporate leaders face pressure to respond to climate risks & an accelerating energy transition, & to support progress on social & economic justice - amid a growing political backlash against such efforts that is increasingly targeting private-sector companies.
While the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act has unleashed huge financial support for green energy projects, this year's US presidential election creates major policy uncertainty for low-carbon investment. Advances in AI & other technology are driving excitement about new opportunities to tackle environmental & social challenges - but also concern about their huge energy demand. Companies & investors must also take into account the roiling controversy around diversity & inclusion, & the increasing scrutiny of their impacts on biodiversity.
Join leading investors, corporate executives, & policymakers at the 5th edition of Financial Times' Moral Money Summit Americas for a wide-ranging exploration of the key themes in the sustainable business & finance agenda. This two-day event will be packed with compelling debate & powerful insights on issues that no leader can afford to ignore.
Key questions to be addressed
What challenges do companies encounter in the preparation for new climate reporting rules in the US & internationally?

What impact has the IRA had to date on foreign investment, supply chains, job creation, innovation, clean energy, & healthcare?
