About MSF

The main objective of the Malta Sustainability Forum is to raise awareness on the topic of sustainability, with the aim of empowering citizens to make conscious decisions towards a more sustainable life. Based on the success of the previous editions, this year MSF will be delivered as a series of afternoon events, online or hybrid as the circumstances permit.

MSF is organised by APS Bank as sustainability lies at the heart of the Bank’s values, underpins its business strategy and is a core pillar of its Corporate Social Responsibility Programme.

Confronting Pension Inequity – Unmasking the silent struggle

The second event for MSF 2023 on the theme Sustain Tomorrow Today will help to raise awareness on the inequity within the pension system and how certain groups are more likely to face financial difficulties, and a reduced standard of living and wellbeing upon retirement. Perspectives from local and EU experts will be shared on the topic, featuring research on the impact of inflation. The first panel will address the inadequacy of state pensions and how it impacts certain groups like women, people with disability and migrants more than others. The results from the Pensions Engagement Survey 2023 commissioned by APS Bank will also be examined, followed by another panel discussion looking for solutions to this disparity. The session will conclude with a focus on what individuals can do to ensure better financial stability upon retirement.

📅 SAVE THE DATE: Thursday 22 June at 8:30
