About this episode
Welcome to this extra episode of the Leaders in Finance Podcast, recorded right after the Leaders in Sustainable Finance Event 2026 at Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam, where over 200 participants joined from across financial institutions and NGOs.
In this conversation, Prof. Karen Maas (Professor of Accounting & Sustainability, Open University, and Director of the Impact Centre Erasmus, Erasmus University), Ambika Jindal (Global Head, Systemic Change Accelerator, ING), and Bart van Kampen (Partner, Strategy & Operations, KPMG) reflect together with host Marije Tolsma-Groen on what felt different this year: a shift from big sustainability ambition to the practical question of execution, and how digital tools can actually help accelerate delivery. They talk about what it takes to move from measuring future value to building it into today’s models and decisions, how to close the “say-do” gap, and why collaboration across the value chain matters, even when it is legally and competitively complicated.
