On Thursday 17 March ABG Sundal Collier (“ABGSC”) participated in the annual SHE Conference in Oslo – one of the world’s most important equality and social sustainability events. The 2022 SHE Conference featured discussions among leaders from business, politics and NGOs, on topics ranging from female participation in the financial industry, to how to increase the number of female founders across different sectors.
 
Ongoing partnership with SHE
ABGSC has a long-standing partnership with SHE; the partnership has included a number of events and initiatives, including hosting multiple “Learn to invest” seminars for women, contributing to previous SHE Conference events and participating in the voluntary SHE Index (which measures how companies perform on gender balance, gender equality policies and diversity and inclusion).
 
This year’s events
ABGSC was one of the sponsors of this year’s SHE Conference. Our CEO Jonas Ström also participated in the “Bridging the Financial Inclusion Gender Gap” discussion, in addition to the “5 tips on how to do a successful capital raise” discussion, where he was joined by ABGSC Chairman Knut Brundtland. Additionally, ABGSC hosted a lunch workshop entitled “How to drive more diversity into the Finance sector?”, where Knut Brundtland was joined by the ABGSC Women in Finance Foundation for a discussion about recruiting and retaining female talent.
The 2022 SHE Conference activities will continue over the next two weeks, with events held in Stockholm on 24 March and Helsinki on 30 March. In Stockholm, Jonas Ström will participate in the “Why Bold Leadership?” discussion.
