  • Session moderated by Fiona McIntyre, Partner, Energy Energy Transition, PwC Australia

Quotes attributable to FINSIA CEO & MD, Yasser El-Ansary F FIN:

“The pathway to meeting our collective national ambition of ‘net zero by 2050’ will necessitate greater innovation, much greater levels of partnership between the public and private sectors, and importantly, trillions of dollars of capital”.

“This will be a thought-provoking and unique opportunity to be a part of a vitally important national conversation”.

“FINSIA is delighted that these influential business leaders - Dr Guy Debelle (Australian Retirement Trust), David Gall (NAB) and Sonya Sawtell-Rickson (HESTA) and Fiona McIntyre (PwC Australia) - will join us in Melbourne this April to address key issues in Australia’s energy transition from an investment and capital perspective, and share insights into how the shared ambition of achieving net zero by 2050 can be achieved”.
