Powering the social and environmental transition with our savings

Eva Sadoun

Eva Sadoun is a French entrepreneur, author and activist.

In an economy where finance carries an ever-increasing weight, it is challenging to envision an ecological transition without a structural change in financial institutions and investor behaviors. To meet the significant financing needs (estimated at over 100 billion euros per year in France according to I4CE, solely for mitigating climate change), savings are an essential lever for ecological and social transition.

Directing our savings is therefore crucial to address the challenges of the social and environmental transition.

Drawing from her entrepreneurial experience with Lita.Co and Rift, as well as her activist commitment, Eva Sadoun will share her vision for finance: one that is more transparent, sustainable, and democratic.

With over a decade in finance and a historical and philosophical approach, she will explore the crucial role of our savings in the challenges of the 21st century. How can we revitalize citizens' trust in investment by making it meaningful and directly linked to positive innovation projects, often overlooked by the traditional financial system?

In addition to exploring a bold vision for this sector, she will highlight concrete and pragmatic solutions to mobilize our savings for the ecological and social transition.
