On the afternoon of October 5, 2023, econsense and PwC invite you to the event ‘ecolution on Tour’ at Tower 185 in Frankfurt am Main.

How can the sustainability performance of corporates pave the way for financial success? And what’s the role of financial institutions and investors in the transition of corporates?

econsense and PwC are delighted to invite you to our event ‘ecolution on Tour’ on the afternoon of October 5 in Frankfurt, where we will dive into these essential questions and explore the crucial intersection between sustainability and financial prosperity.

In today’s dynamic world with increasing uncertainty, the need for sustainable and resilient business practices is more apparent than ever. Join us as we gather with influential speakers from corporates, investors, banks, and other relevant actors to unravel how collaboration among these stakeholders can lead to a successful journey towards sustainability.

Climate transition plans will be at the forefront of discussions, highlighting how they can serve as a roadmap towards a more sustainable future. Climate risks and impacts further pose significant challenges to businesses and the planet, and we aim to address how corporates can effectively manage these risks while reducing their impact. Moreover, we will explore the compelling opportunities that sustainable actions can bring, such as issuing green or sustainability-linked bonds. These avenues can lead to lower costs of capital and greater investor interest, fostering a win-win scenario for both business and the planet.

The idea behind the ‘ecolution on Tour’ event series is to provide food for thought and offer a platform for exchange – always with a focus on the practical implementation of sustainability in business. Our host for the third ecolution on Tour this year is econsense member PwC Germany: Whether for a global player, a family business or a public institution, PwC is there for you at 21 locations in Germany.
