An introduction to enhancing credibility in Green Finance: PNC and DQS Live Expert Session

Join this session with Zach Graziani of PNC to see how sustainability is transforming financial markets—and how credible verification is becoming essential for trust, transparency, and investment decisions.

From growing regulatory pressure to rising investor scrutiny, stakeholders are no longer satisfied with vague commitments—they demand credibility, measurable impact, and independent assurance.

In this exclusive online expert session, industry leaders from the banking and assurance sectors will illuminate how sustainable finance is being reshaped—and what this means for organizations seeking access to capital, enhanced reputation, and long-term resilience.

Gain insights into the forces behind ESG integration, the strategic role of green and sustainability-linked loans, and the growing importance of third-party verification mechanisms such as Second-Party Opinions (SPOs). Learn how banks assess ESG criteria and why credible sustainability claims are increasingly becoming a prerequisite for financial products.

You will also explore the role of KPI assurance in sustainability-linked finance—understanding how verified performance indicators support transparency and enable impact-driven funding.
