Investors are seeing zeros everywhere. It's in the interest rate policy, return on traditional income investments, the rising urgency to reach net zero emissions, and a world where zero action means zero results. Investors need to go beyond traditional thinking to solve the complex challenge of balancing the returns they want and delivering what society needs.

On 29 and 30 June 2021, Schroders will be engaging financial industry professionals and business leaders at their flagship investment conference for clients to discuss the potential levers investors can pull to drive sustainable investments in #TheZero environment today and in the decade ahead.

A diverse line-up of thought leaders will discuss a range of topics, from the role that policy makers and investment managers play, to exploring new investment themes and solutions that have opened up for investors in the dynamic age of #TheZero, with a particular focus on private markets, income investing, China, thematics investing, energy transition and climate change.

In addition, Mr Paul Polman, Vice-Chair of the UN Global Compact and former CEO of Unilever, will be sharing his views on business and sustainability in a keynote address.

Please watch this space for their insights as the discussions unfold over those two days.
