Chile's opportunities for innovative and sustainable investment

On 3 October, Canning House hosted a high-level, cross-sectoral roundtable with Chile's Minister of Economy, Nicolás Grau, in partnership with the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), the Embassy of Chile in the UK and ProChile, at the LSEG's headquarters in the City of London.

Delegates from organisations across the public and private sectors, including business, finance, government, diplomacy, academia and legislature discussed opportunities in Chile's economy, including energy and mining, and how innovation and sustainability are driving the country's productivity in those key sectors.

In particular, issues such as climate change, international collaboration, human capital development, and balancing growth with people's needs and equality were addressed. Mr Grau assured the senior investors present that, in Chile, there is no need for a trade off between the economy and the environment. On the London Stock Exchange, Chile has issued a range of green, social and sustainability bonds, including the world's first sovereign sustainability-linked bond.
