Banca d'Italia and the International Monetary Fund are organizing a research conference, to be held in Venice on 13-14 June 2024, on the integration of sustainability profiles into the credit risk assessment of non-financial firms. The conference will be hosted at Banca d'Italia's branch in Palazzo Dolfin Manin, Calle Larga Mazzini, 4799/a San Marco. Participation will be possible in person and via a web connection.
