Advisory Services Europe | CFO/Finance & ESG: From CapEx Thinking to TotEx Steering

The finance function is becoming central to sustainability execution. Many ESG decisions are still evaluated through short-term CapEx, ROI and cash-flow logic, while sustainable transformation requires a broader perspective, including lifecycle cost, regulatory exposure, carbon pricing, supply-chain risk, asset resilience and long-term enterprise value.

This Expert Session explores why the CFO perspective is becoming critical as ESG moves from reporting into financial steering, investment decisions, risk management and enterprise performance management. The focus will be on decision models, data requirements, KPI logic and the shift from cost control toward risk-adjusted TotEx steering.

Target audience: Executive leaders, CFOs, finance and controlling functions, transformation leaders and sustainability executives seeking to connect ESG with financial steering, enterprise performance and long-term value creation.
