How can we rethink prosperity beyond GDP — and ensure we measure what truly drives long‑term value?

On 29 September 2026, the British Chamber of Commerce for Luxembourg will host an expert roundtable on Rethinking Prosperity Beyond GDP, bringing together a select group of professionals from business, finance, academia and policy.

The discussion will focus on:

· Why GDP alone no longer captures the drivers of modern prosperity, and how today’s economy increasingly depends on trust, knowledge, human capability, health, governance, relationships and the environment.

· How alternative measures of value can shape better decision‑making, influence capital allocation, strengthen business performance and support long‑term resilience.

The roundtable will provide an open and collaborative forum for peers to exchange ideas, practical experience and emerging good practices.

The key takeaways from the discussion will be consolidated into an anonymised summary and published on the BCC website to contribute to knowledge‑sharing across the business community.

This session will be followed by a networking cocktail.

📅 Date: Tuesday, 29 September 2026, as from 6 pm

📍 Venue: St George’s International School in Hamm (Luxembourg City)

We look forward to welcoming you to the discussion.

BCC Sustainability Group Expert Discussions on ESG risk management for banks: progress is evident, yet the journey is not always straightforward.

The BCC Sustainability Group convened a series of exchanges and a dedicated roundtable with senior practitioners and subject-matter experts on the realities of ESG data, governance integration and prudential transition planning under CRD VI.

The discussions highlighted persistent structural challenges related to the collection of ESG data, especially in the post‑Omnibus context, growing pressure to embed ESG into governance and first‑line decision‑making, and key observations arising from the preparation of the first iteration of prudential transition plans (PTPs). Despite clear progress, banks continue to navigate methodological constraints, the need for continuous capacity and knowledge development and the challenge of building credible, actionable PTPs.

Pragmatic approaches, strong data integrity and institution‑wide engagement were said to be essential to advance ESG risk management.
