The Next Wave of Sustainable Finance: Insights & Predictions for 2026
As global markets accelerate their transition toward sustainable models, the financial landscape is undergoing rapid and measurable change.
This February, Thornhill Academy welcomes Sustainability & ESG Strategist Cecily Liu of the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) who will unpack the latest data on sustainability finance — revealing the key shifts already reshaping investment strategies, regulatory expectations, corporate and investor behaviour, and influencing professional advice.
Through evidence‑based insights and forward‑looking analysis, Cecily will highlight the major trends set to define 2026 and explore what organisations must understand to stay ahead in this evolving field.
Our guest speaker will also explain what these developments mean for Chinese companies going global, sharing practical lessons and implications for businesses operating internationally or exporting abroad, such as how to navigate rising sustainability expectations and requirements.
Join us for an interactive session that blends extensive data with strategic foresight, and encourages open exchange of views, practical experiences, and best practices among participants.
Attendees are warmly welcomed to stay on afterwards for an informal dinner at The Sichuan restaurant in celebration of Chinese New Year - The Year of the Horse. (Cost:£20/person)
