This effort addresses the carbon impact of hosting each of the five 2023 events, including all attendee travel footprints, bringing the entire schedule to carbon neutral in a verifiable, quantifiable way.
Purchased emission allowances will neutralise the carbon footprint of these GII events in Melbourne:
28 March - Net Zero Investment Forum
4 May - Private Credit Roundtable
6 September - Equities Investment Forum
7 September - Fixed Income & ALTS Investment Forum
12 October - Family Office Investment Forum
Furthermore, as part of this partnership, GII event attendees can receive a bespoke carbon evaluation from Climate Vault for their own organisational events
The Global Investment Institute is taking direct action to reduce & remove the carbon footprint of its entire 2023 event schedule, starting with the Net Zero Investment Forum in Melbourne CBD, Victoria, Australia. Climate Vault, partnering with GII, is purchasing regulated emission allowances to immediately reduce atmospheric carbon and bring all five events to carbon neutral.
The Family Office Investment Forum, happening 12 October in Melbourne, brings together members of families, senior investment team representatives and advisers responsible for managing capital of Australian and New Zealand single-family offices (SFOs) and multi-family offices (MFOs). It provides an opportunity for delegates to benchmark their portfolios against their peer group in a collegiate setting, to compare and contrast their approaches through discussion and an interactive format, and to hear from global investment experts on approaches to optimising portfolio construction, decision making frameworks and accessing unique, global investment opportunities. The investment forum covers a range of investment strategies for generating alpha in portfolios across traditional and alternative asset classes, including listed and private market opportunities across the spectrum of equities, debt, hedge funds, venture capital and beyond. It addresses what investors ought to consider when deciding on the suitability of an investment for their portfolio, relative to their return objectives and risk profile.
