Welcome to the Leaders in Sustainable Finance Event on 28 January 2027 at Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam. Join the unique gathering of industry leaders, including CEOs, regulators, top managers and professionals in the space. A great opportunity to gain new insights, engage in thought-provoking discussions with peers, and get to know pioneers shaping the future of sustainable finance.
Sustainable Money
Across the financial sector, sustainable finance has slipped down the agenda. Reporting rules are being simplified, budgets are under pressure, and “ESG” has become a word many prefer to avoid in the boardroom.
At Leaders in Finance, we believe that is a strategic mistake. The energy transition is happening, with or without your portfolio. Climate risk is already shaping property values, credit decisions and insurance premiums. And European policymakers and supervisors continue to make clear that climate and nature risks are financial risks. The question is no longer whether sustainability belongs on your agenda, but whether you will be early or late.
This event is about the business case. Not about good intentions, but about where the returns are, where the risks hide, and who is positioned to lead.

Pre-event interviews
In the run-up to the event, we will publish speaker interviews here. Speakers will introduce themselves, discuss the key opportunities and challenges in their field, and share their expectations for the event.
Participants
With our Leaders in Sustainable Finance Event, we aim to bring together high-level speakers and attendees to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and ideas.
Therefore, this event should be of interest to Sustainable Finance Professionals, but also for leaders who, while not engaged in sustainable finance daily, view it as a crucial element in strategic management.
Based on last year’s edition, we expect to welcome 200+ attendees from 70+ organizations, both public and private. Our event is driven by a clear mission.
First, we want to bring the (financial) professionals in the Sustainable Finance space together and encourage knowledge sharing and exchange of best practices.
Secondly, we hope to add value in the deepening of cooperation between the different stakeholders in the Sustainable Finance sector, among other things, by facilitating the forming of new relationships and to deepen existing relationships.
Finally, above all we want to achieve that all participants will travel home after the conference full of energy and enthusiasm.
