Andrew McDowell will address the following topic: "The EU Action Plan On Sustainable Finance - Progress To Date And The Challenges And Opportunities for Luxembourg. Transforming ESG requirements from burden to competitive advantage".

Andrew is a partner in PwC's "Strategy&" business, providing thought leadership and C-suite strategy advice on sustainable finance and risk transformation for clients in financial services and the public sector. He is an economist with deep macro- and micro- analytical skills, underpinned by 25 years of experience in economic / financial policy-making at national and European Union (EU) levels.

As Vice President and one of the nine members of the Management Committee of the European Investment Bank (EIB) between 2016 and 2020, Andrew repositioned the bank as the "EU Climate Bank" and a pioneer among international financial institutions in green financing.
