On Friday 28th October 2022, The Oxford Character Project will host a symposium bringing together key figures from the financial services industry and leading academics to discuss the purpose of the financial services industry, the culture and leadership of financial firms, and the role of the financial sector in wider society, which has been the subject of ongoing debate since the global financial crisis of 2008. In particular we will explore: How can financial markets connect with the values and goals of society? How might organisations and individuals embrace the "social license for financial markets"?
