Join us on the 1st of October 2026 for an exclusive breakfast roundtable for senior marketing and sustainability leaders in financial services and professional services firms, hosted by Man Bites Dog and the Carbon Trust.

As climate risk intensifies and traditional ESG narratives lose traction, the challenge is no longer just what firms finance, but how they position it. In an environment of heightened scrutiny and slower, more complex buying decisions, the ability to frame sustainable finance as commercially intelligent, credible and client-relevant is fast becoming a source of competitive advantage.

This session, hosted by Man Bites Dog’s Duncan Sparke with guest speaker Dr Isabel DiVanna of The Carbon Trust, will bring together a small group of senior leaders spanning financial services and the wider advisory ecosystem. Together, we’ll explore how the language of resilience, adaptation and nature can unlock new demand and reposition sustainable finance as integral to strategy, not peripheral to it.

Discussion will focus on how to move beyond moralistic or overly technical ESG framing towards narratives grounded in risk, performance and growth - and how to articulate these in ways that build trust, signal strategic intelligence, and support commercial outcomes.

Who should attend?

Senior marketers, sustainability leaders, and content strategists in financial services and professional services, who want to learn more about the future of sustainable finance and the role of marketing in the next economy.
