Athanasia Karananou, UN Principles for Responsible Investment

This presentation was part of a webinar on understanding the implications of financial opacity and tax avoidance on sustainability Financial transparency and especially the disclosure of climate risks has become a major issue in discussions about sustainable finance. One of the most challenging, controversial and least understood issues in this area is how governments, companies and individuals intentionally use so-called tax haven jurisdictions and complex structures involving trusts and shell companies as vehicles to reduce financial transparency and accountability. Uses of such structures in extractive sectors like mining, forestry and fisheries have potentially very large, yet poorly understood social and environmental impacts. This online conversation organized as a contribution to Stockholm+50 will elaborate these issues in depth with leading experts and practitioners, including the challenges of studying this phenomenon, and the most important policy pathways that could lead to a step-change in transparency and tax fairness in extractive sectors with benefits for both people and planet. Athanasia Karananou is the Director of Corporate Governance & Research at UN Principles for Responsible Investment. She is an expert on ESG issues related to tax transparency and fairness in the financial sector. For more information about the webinar, go to https://beijer.kva.se/transparency-ta...
