Marin Hrešić, CEO of Eurizon Asset Management Croatia Ltd, said that “Over the last 25 years Eurizon has been constantly committed to sustainability and to the continuous innovation. We consider that in order not to fall into the risk of greenwashing it is important to have the data available and regulation is certainly helping in providing uniform transparency models. However, it is important, as for the companies in which we invest, to adopt a robust and solid governance and this is undoubtedly our distinctive point which should help us in the future, as we work to realize our net zero commitments. We in Eurizon Asset Management Croatia Ltd are dedicated to implement those policies and practices also on the Croatian market.”
Federica Calvetti, Head of ESG and Strategic Activism - Eurizon Capital SGR, attended the panel to express the importance of European taxonomy, that will play a key role in preventing Greenwashing:
“In the coming years, the European taxonomy will be instrumental in defining what is an “environmentally sustainable” economic activity: this is not only useful for investors, but also to issuers and therefore plays a key role in maintaining the integrity of overall the green market, creating security and protecting from the risk of greenwashing”.
The conference ended with an important message to the participants, which also reflects the mission of Eurizon:
“Be the change you want to see in the world."
Eurizon is committed, in fact, to promoting virtuous habits and behaviors to ensure a better tomorrow for future generations.
