Sign up for this event

In this special briefing from Chapter Zero, the Climate Governance Initiative and the World Benchmarking Alliance​ (WBA), attendees will hear first-hand the Financial System Benchmark 2025 results and why the leaders are leading. The session will offer Financial Sector (FS) Board members and executive teams a clear view of their institution's performance relative to peers and how this has been measured, particularly in regards to governance and strategy.

The session will feature:

  • Presentation – An overview of the benchmark results and top takeaways.
  • Fireside Chat – A discussion with financial sector non-executive directors (NEDs) from top-scoring institutions, sharing their perspectives on effective governance and leadership.
  • Q&A – An opportunity for attendees to engage directly with the WBA and NED speakers.

With a focus on readiness to transition, panellists will discuss how to advance leadership, resilience and protect company value. They will also share practical actions for FS NEDs seeking to enhance performance.
