The Family Office Roundtable was organized as part of the Family Office for Sustainable Development Initiative (FOSD), a collaborative effort between PVBLIC Foundation and the UN Office for Partnerships. FOSD brings together small groups of influential Family Offices with a shared vision for sustainable development. By engaging these key players, FOSD aims to unlock the immense potential of private wealth and resources in addressing pressing global challenges.
The discussions at the roundtable delved into crucial topics that are vital for the advancement of sustainable development. Participants explored innovative investment approaches that integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations. They also examined the role of the next generation of Family Offices in driving impact and leaving a meaningful legacy.
Moreover, the roundtable highlighted the persistent gender inequalities in philanthropy and impact investment. Recognizing the importance of empowering women as change agents, the discussions aimed to identify strategies for bridging the gender gap in the field. By addressing this critical issue, PVBLIC Foundation and its partners demonstrated their commitment to creating a more inclusive and equitable society.
PVBLIC Foundation was honored to host over 80 family office participants during the roundtable and reception. Sergio Fernandez de Cordova, PVBLIC Foundation’s Executive Chairman, addressed the family office delegation, encouraging them to engage with FOSD and activate around the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Events like the Family Office Roundtable at SCALE Global showcase the power of collaboration and collective action in driving positive change. PVBLIC Foundation remains dedicated to leveraging the influence of Family Offices to support the SDGs and create a brighter future for all.
