COVID-19 has made this more pressing than ever\, and the recovery process is shaping the agenda for a new social contract.

The Upright net impact model aims to quantify not only the negative\, but also the positive impacts investments have on the economy\, environment\, health of people\, society and knowledge creation.\n\n\n13:15 – 13:30\nPensionsEurope & ITN – Investing in the future \nInvesting in the Future will shine a spotlight on the need for individuals to manage their own long-term financial security.
