2- The virtual event, Climate Standards and Enterprise Value hosted by London Business School's Wheeler Institute and Economics, in partnership with ECGI was held on 15 April 2021.

This online event discussed the guiding principles of international sustainability standards based on enterprise value where Lucrezia Reichlin, Professor of Economics at the London Business School, was joined by the former Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney. Elias Papaioannou, co-Academic Director of the Wheeler Institute and Economics Professor at London Business School hosted the discussion. The event underlined the importance for the public interest of reporting standards that address enterprise value, which captures expected value creation for investors in the short, medium and long term and is interdependent with value creation for society and the environment, noting that sustainability standards should focus on information that is material to the decisions of investors, lenders and other creditors.
