• Forum explores how to boost green entrepreneurship and support climate tech founders, and looks into technology’s role in modernisation of supply chains –
• Forum addressed by Hamza Yousuf, First Minister of Scotland, with General Electric, IBM and Uber among private sector players taking part –
• Capital.com CEO: “The number 1 most traded stock on our platform is Tesla – an EV company with clear climate goals closely followed by popular sustainable tech companies like Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet”

London, December 06, 2023: As part of the first ever official trade day at the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP 28), Capital.com, one of Europe’s fastest-growing financial investment platforms, sponsored the UAE Ministry of the Economy’s Sustainable Trade Forum, designed to explore how trade can be modernised to become greener, faster and more inclusive. The Forum included contributions from Hamza Yousuf, First Minister of Scotland, global corporations such as General Electric, IBM and Uber, investors Princeville Capital and Wamda Group, and scale-ups Change Foods and Orbillion Bio.

The Sustainable Trade Forum encompassed two sessions: “Fostering Green Entrepreneurship: Nurturing a Sustainability-led Startup Ecosystem”, which looked at how the private and public sectors can work together to create the most productive and supportive environments for climate tech founders, and “Strengthening Sustainable Supply Chain Resilience: Navigating Global Disruption”, which explored the intricacies of green supply chain frameworks that can significantly contribute to more resilient and green value chains as well as sustainable business practices.

Capital.com Group CEO Kypros Zoumidou addressed the session on fostering green entrepreneurship. “The number 1 most traded stock on our platform is Tesla – an EV company with clear climate goals closely followed by popular sustainable tech companies like Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet,” he said. “Like the rest of the world’s consumers, retail traders want to allocate their money to companies that offer great products, are well-managed and are conscientious global corporate citizens. But all investors’ attitudes are changing – more and more institutional investors are demanding impact investments.”

“This is a trend that’s inescapable for companies across global supply chains, and there is a huge opportunity to inject greater technology across the global trading system to make it more efficient, more resilient and more inclusive. Just like fintech innovators, green tech and trade tech leaders need to think about embedding sustainability goals into their business at the early stages of growth rather than risk the huge cost of ‘transitioning’ at a later stage of their company’s lifecycle. Public and private sector partners can support them to make the right choices for the long term.”

Capital.com has introduced easy access to a rating system that enables its global community of customers exceeding 500,000 traders to compare companies based on their environmental, social and governance performance. These ESG scores are largely based on voluntary disclosures, but while company reporting in this area has yet to be standardised, the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance noted last year that demand for socially responsible investment information had “exploded” over the past decade.

“Our customers want their investments to influence change. At Capital.com we are left in no doubt: a sustainable future is not just socially responsible, but companies that are sustainable are also investible,” said Mr Zoumidou.
