Investment Week Future Leaders Summit

The Future Leaders Summit is for asset managers to interact with up-and-coming stars of fund selection from leading wealth management and research companies in the UK.

Our delegates will be newer entrants to the industry, as well as selectors who have been around for a few years and have ambitions to run a team in the future.

Key themes for the event will include the future of fund selection and what our leaders of tomorrow would like to see from asset managers.

Sustainability

Investment Week is committed to the journey in becoming more sustainable. By using the guidelines set out by Ecovadis, we will be working towards the accreditation. The goal is to reduce paper consumption across events and improve recycling rates, curb food waste and alter menus with an aim to include locally sourced, organic produce. We have also committed to deliver carbon offsetting at events wherever possible and provide delegates with accessible venues. We will be closely evaluating each event and considering how we can improve in the following areas; energy, transport, water usage, recycling, economic and local environment/community.

Carbon Offsetting

Incisive Media have partnered with Ecosphere+ to ensure all our remaining greenhouse gas emissions are offset. Working with Ecosphere+, we calculate the emissions from all our events, including those from event operations, venues and delegates. We then purchase the equivalent number of carbon offset credits to counter-act our activities. These credits are supporting the protection of vital rainforest in Peru, by funding conservation work and creating sustainable sources of income for locals to minimise incentives for deforestation.
