I think the most important value I derive from CeFPro conferences is to be able to benchmark what my bank is doing against the industry.
I am honoured to have had the opportunity to moderate and speak at ESG USA. The sessions were packed with engaging presentations and discussions.
Another excellent, well organised Congress with solid speakers and moderators, and a very engaged audience.
It has been a long time since I have seen the level of collaboration and thought leadership I was able to be a part of [at ESG USA]. So thankful to CeFPro for hosting.
The insightful conversations continued over coffee, in the hallway, at the sponsor stands and over lunch are the way it should be when we communicate.

First Street Foundation
First Street Foundation’s mission is to make climate risk accessible, easy to understand and actionable for individuals, governments, and industry.
A changing climate is impacting the risks facing American properties, communities, and businesses as perils such as flood, fire, heat, and others become more common and more severe. The best science on these issues is complex, happening in silos, and left in peer review journals, making it largely inaccessible to everyday Americans. Until recently, there was no easy, accurate way for individuals to understand how environmental changes will impact them personally. First Street’s work addresses that gap to ensure every American homeowner, renter, business, and community has access to the best climate risk data. Through RiskFactor.com, First Street provides in-depth, climate adjusted, property specific risk assessments for homes across the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
First Street’s data and models also help inform federal government agencies like Fannie Mae, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the U.S. Departments of Treasury, and Commerce, and others in their assessment of climate risk to the U.S. economy.
