TRACK
TOPIC
DESCRIPTION:
Financial
systems provide
capital to
investors to
fund their
investment
projects. In
this context, it
is possible to
introduce the
sustainability
concept seen as
investments
feasibility. The
challenges of
sustainable
development have
oriented the
financial
systems toward a
new paradigm
which takes into
account the
social and
environmental
factors: the
sustainable
financial
systems. In this
direction, a new
sustainability
vision, based on
respect for and
control of
Environmental,
Social, and
Governance (ESG)
factors, is
increasingly at
the center of
corporate and
investment
decisions. The
recent financial
crisis has
raised many
questions about
financial
strategies,
financial tools,
and business
models. It has
become
imperative to
move towards new
practices in
financial
systems. In this
broad and
complex
scenario, which
also includes
the social
transformations,
named by the
World Economic
Forum the “Great
Reset”, the
track aims to
foster
discussion on
new findings and
approaches
associated with
the financial
systems,
considering them
in the
traditional form
as well as in
the new
sustainability
paradigm.
