Executive Breakfast Double Materiality in a World of AI

Sep 21, 2026

SIX ConventionPoint · Pfingstweidstrasse 110 · 8005 Zurich

About this event

Financial institutions are increasingly expected to identify and measure climate- and nature-related financial risks. Yet the data needed to assess these exposures is often incomplete, inconsistent or difficult to translate into meaningful risk signals.

With FINMA Circular 2026/1 bringing nature-related financial risks further into focus, the discussion is shifting towards how institutions measure what matters, what they build internally and where external data and technology can add value.

An asset owner, a private bank and sustainability data and AI specialists come together to examine these challenges from different perspectives. At the centre of the discussion: does sustainable investing have a data problem, or a classification problem?
