Goodstock – 18 September 2025 – St George’s Bristol
The first-of-its-kind Conference for Financial Planners who are passionate about investing for good.
Seb Elwell of Switchfoot Wealth is the keynote speaker and is presenting on “Sustainable Financial Planning”
What is sustainable professional advice? A cross disciplinary perspective.
This event launches the white paper exploring the question “What is sustainable professional advice?” from a cross-disciplinary perspective.
Our findings are made distributive by design to the regulated professions, and we hope that this event can help catalyse change across the professions.
Our clients will often interact with a range of professional advisers, and it is essential that all professionals have a shared knowledge and language of the risks and opportunities that the polycrisis presents. This requires us to have a shared understanding of the role of professional advice in tackling the crisis.
