An initiative by the Fide’s GET-2 ESG Think-Tank
Jesus College, Oxford.
The Oxford/25 Congress brings together global leaders in finance, multinational corporations, and sustainability experts to address a pivotal question: how do we turn ambition into action in a world shaped by complex risks, advancing technology, and rising expectations for environmental and social impact?
Under the theme “Reaching Pragmatism in Sustainability”, this year’s edition will focus on actionable strategies to integrate sustainability into financial decision-making—where data, technology, and regulation converge. From artificial intelligence to biodiversity, from global taxonomies to stakeholder engagement, the congress will explore how institutions can respond to megatrends with agility, credibility, and measurable outcomes.
Key topics include:
The intersection of AI and ESG data science in driving effective impact
Biodiversity and One Health: Scientific Insights into Economic Impacts
Decarbonization strategies for industrialized economies
The future of corporate engagement and stewardship
Regulatory developments in the EU, US, and LATAM
The evolution of impact investing beyond niche status
The Oxford/25 Congress is not about idealism—it’s about bridging vision and execution. Through cross-sector dialogue, we aim to accelerate scalable, science-informed, and economically viable solutions that align profitability with purpose.
Join us in Oxford as we move from principles to practice in building a sustainable financial system.
