"Peta is an exceptional public speaker, particularly in the realm of regenerative investing and finance. I've had the privilege of witnessing her profound knowledge and expertise on multiple speaking occasions. Her ability to articulate complex concepts with clarity and conviction is unparalleled. Recognizing her prowess, we invited her to speak at an event co-organized with Liechtenstein University. Both we and the audience were profoundly impacted by Peta’s transformative vision and the undeniable power she brings not only to the stage but as well when it comes to the practical implementation. We very much value her foresight, holistic and systemic approach and transformative power for good. She is a true visionary and driving force of innovation."

"At the end of the Clean Equity Monaco conference, everyone was tired from hearing two full days of presenters; however Peta reinvigorated the event when she offered her refreshing take on impact investing and the powerful concept of regeneration as a model. I then invited her to speak in Davos during the World Economic Forum at the House of Balance, where she further incited global leaders to rethink their strategies and perspectives. She was an immensely thought provoking and valuable speaker and I have continued to invite her back to speak"

Tiffany Harnsongkram - Director, House of Balance - World Economic Forum

"Ms Peta Milan has been undoubtedly amongst the biggest advocates of sustainable regenerative investment in commodities trading, investment and decarbonisation strategies, and while endorsing the same values, we were so honoured to have her to chair our Commodity Investment Summit within Commodity Trading Week Europe in London, 2023, and more to come. Her presence and speeches more than meaningfully contributed to the assembly of asset managers, commodities investors, traders and policy makers that came together at a programme where energy-transition and the net-zero objectives were major focus. As a Project Manager of our global Commodity Trading Week series, I’m in debt to Ms Peta Milan’s voice, chairmanship, contribution and advocacy!"
