THIRD RISK AND VALUE CREATION FORUM HOSTED BY INNOVATION 4.4 AT THE EXPLORERS CLUB
NEW YORK, DECEMBER 12, 2018
​
The Third Risk and Value Creation Forum brought together family offices, researchers, investors, regulatory advocates,
startups, corporate leaders, and financial institutions, to present key practitioner insights
on emerging risk frameworks and risk assessment tools, as well as well as value creation opportunities
based on market intelligence.
​
According to leading endocrinologists, given the current levels of endocrine disruptors in our
environment, the human race will be unable to reproduce by 2060. The human fertility rate has dropped
by 50% from what it was in 1970. Man-made toxic chemicals, and in particular endocrine disruptors, are
a key threat to the survival of the human species.
​
Researchers have presented thorough and compelling evidence regarding the impact of endocrine
disruptors on human health and fertility. NGOs have raised awareness regarding the issue and its urgency.
Investors have used the shareholder advocacy mechanism to influence corporate behavior. Entrepreneurs
have commercialized safer alternative solutions that are gaining market share faster then conventional
solutions by double digits annually. Given the risk and value creation implications for investors, as well
as the urgency from a human health perspective in addressing this threat, the Third Risk and Value
Creation Forum was curated to enable Chief Investment Officers and Directors of Research of the key financial institutions and investment firms to make better investment decisions by providing insights regarding investment risk exposure to toxic chemicals in the supply chain and investment opportunities in companies that are providing alternative solutions.
​
Risk and Value Creation Forums, a project of Innovation 4.4, is global series of conferences focused on investment and finance. The conference offers thought-leadership and key practitioner insights into emerging risk frameworks and risk assessment tools, as well as value creation opportunities and market intelligence in finance and investment. Each conference brings together practitioners and speakers for a full day of curated knowledge-sharing and collaboration, with the principle focus of understanding how a systems thinking approach to financial systems can better manage risk and deliver value.
