Forbion Head of Impact & ESG Silva Deželan, PhD, will speak at SuperReturn CFO/COO 2026, taking place October 5–7 at Hotel Okura in Amsterdam. On October 5, Silva will join the Spotlight ESG panel, “Where Are We with SFDR?”
Moderated by Jack Cracknell, Co-founder of Groundswell, the panel will also feature Stephanie Hubold, Head of Sustainability at Altor Equity Partners, and Yohan Hill, Principal and Director of ESG and Responsible Investing at Adams Street Partners.
The discussion will examine the future of the EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation and whether proposed reforms will make the framework more effective and easier for the private markets industry to navigate. Topics will include the potential for simplified requirements for firms below certain assets-under-management thresholds and the responsible-investment frameworks that should apply to defence investing.
SuperReturn CFO/COO brings together senior leaders working across private equity finance, operations, compliance, risk and technology. The panel comes as investment firms assess how evolving sustainability rules can support transparency and accountability while remaining practical across different strategies, sectors and firm sizes.
