Ishka Financing Sustainable Aviation
26 March 2025, Hilton Tower Bridge London
Taking stock and moving needles
If you are committed to sustainable aviation financing, reducing the climate impact of aircraft, or investing in sustainable fuels and new technologies, then this conference is for you. Now in its fourth year, Ishka’s 2025 ESG-SAF conference is specially designed for all members of the aviation value chain.
Returning for our 4th year, aviation financiers will come together to plan and discuss their part in the industry’s decarbonisation. A huge responsibility lies with aircraft owners, operators and manufacturers when it comes to driving sustainability, whether committing to climate targets through green financing mechanisms or investing in cleaner fuels and equipment. After several years of target-setting and legislative progress, it is now time for the industry to take stock and prepare to meet the next challenges. This one-day meeting will provide delegates with an overview of their responsibilities, discuss pathways to achieve these goals, and present an outlook for progress and success.
As ever, the acronyms are back; CSRD, CORSIA, CBAM, ETS… the list goes on. What do they all mean? At what stage of implementation are they? Is the industry prepared for their impact? Will they succeed in spurring emissions reductions? How are other companies adapting to reporting and regulatory requirements? What investors are taking the plunge into SAF and why? What more is needed to move that production needle and how does the industry overcome barriers to investment?
We have a meticulously researched agenda, relevant to a diverse audience. Join us for more questions, opinions and answers from industry experts and commentators at Europe’s most important sustainable aviation event for the finance community.

Our annual cross-cutting gathering of aviation's finance leaders preparing for the challenges of decarbonizing flying. Collaboration, cooperation and communication lie at the heart of solving this puzzle and this conference provides just that, combining thought leadership, practical insights, global perspectives, arming delegates with a road map to ensure they are doing their bit (whether regulated or incentivized!) This year, we shall cover financing, deal making, reporting and investing through a sustainability lens, along with the key issues facing energy developers, investors and customers looking to fille the supply gap for cleaner fuel. Taking an educational approach to financing sustainable aviation, delegates will benefit from key topics, including:
- What are key stakeholders doing to decarbonize aviation - views from carriers, investors, lessors and banks?
- What's next on the policy, reporting and regulatory front affecting lending, finance and investment?
- The industry reacts, how aviation works together to fill the energy funding gap; the who, what, how and why of building a consortium
- Can you utilize sustainable finance to maintain and grow your investor pool?
- Are traditional investors and lenders being regulated out of the market?
- SAF World View – markets, policies and production global comparison
- How can producers form alliances to meet huge demand and create opportunities?
- Looking to the future, managing older assets – Can golden years be made green?
