The Department of Finance at the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance and PwC Luxembourg are pleased to invite you to an exclusive Academia Meets Industry event on “ESG Reporting and Firm Competitiveness”, where we will explore the intricate balance between sustainability disclosures and corporate performance. Building on the insights of the Draghi Report, this event will highlight both the trade-offs and synergies between firms’ non-financial reporting and their ability to remain competitive in a global market. The keynote address will be delivered by Professor Alexander Bassen (University of Hamburg), a leading expert in corporate finance and capital markets. A panel discussion featuring distinguished industry and academic voices will follow, fostering a thought-provoking exchange on the evolving sustainability landscape. Join us for this timely conversation bridging theory and practice!
