Join us for the finale of Sustainability shapers as we engage in a compelling conversation with Maya Beyhan, Global Head of Sustainability, Index Investment Strategy at S&P Dow Jones Indices. Maya takes us on a journey from her roots in portfolio strategy to her current expertise in sustainability indices. Highlighting how running has enhanced her resilience in this role.

Discover the pivotal role of natural resources, notably carbon credits, in achieving the net-zero energy transition. Explore how S&P DJI provides customised indices that align with net-zero objectives and the Paris Agreement. As Maya underscores the importance of collaboration and education in propelling sustainable investment forward.
