We kick off at 9am with an introduction and opening remarks from our Chair.

How can the aviation sector, in particular airlines, take the lead in reducing emissions and ensure that the future of flying is sustainable. Is Destination 2050 achievable?

How are governments around the world approaching ESG in aviation and what support can they offer to ensure sustainable, emission-free aviation in the future?

Conversation between investors, lenders and lessors and how they are tackling ESG issues in a united, coherent way.

Policies driving decarbonisation in aviation in Europe - the EU vision for decarbonizing aviation in  the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy and the role of green finance in driving this transition

• Raising your ESG credentials  - good governance leads to better financial performance
• Transparency and reporting
• Diversifying your investor base and attracting new sources through ESG credentials
• Poseidon Principles – learning from the shipping industry
• European Commission is considering proposals around granting lighter capital treatment to sustainable debt
• Green purpose loans vs sustainability linked loans
• Sustainable infrastructure and airports

SAF supply expansion will require a huge amount of investment, and is a huge investment opportunity but what are the pros and cons of the different feedstocks and manufacturing methods? What does the future cost curve look like? Who is putting in money now?

• SAFs – are they a stop gap to hydrogen and electric and not the sustainable answer?
• Can aviation meet net-zero ambitions through the use of SAFs?
• How to bring down costs to build demand - e.g. Carbon credits
• Carrot or stick – what’s the most effective way to scale up production? What role will other fuels play?
• How much is the SAF dial moving?
• Is the 2% blending mandate at the EU level achievable by 2025? 5% by 2030?
• Are we going to see uneven SAF availability conditioned by airport infrastructure in the early years: higher use in major airports but lower use in smaller airports?

• Are you meeting investor/airline/lessor standards?
• Are these aligned or does a different customer require different standards?
• How does this affect pricing and forecasts?
• Are you embracing new tech?
• Is start-up OEMs with low or zero-emission products available for entry into service in the coming years?
• Technological change favours challenges to the incumbents, so it may be a good idea to start considering them?
