"As awareness of our dependence on natural systems grows, so does our capacity to find solutions. I am convinced we will transition towards a financial system that is regenerative by design."

Geneva: A unique ecosystem poised to make global change

 

Geneva is uniquely positioned to address the urgent challenges crystallized in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), thanks to its one-of-a-kind ecosystem: a global financial centre, combined with a hub for multilateral diplomacy, world-class academic institutions and forward-looking policy-makers.

 

This unique diversity of actors makes for an exceptionally rich ecosystem, committed to making sustainable finance a central pillar of growth in business, wealth management and institutional asset management.

What We Do

We serve our members and the Geneva community in implementing sustainable practices in the finance industry.  Our strategy is comprised of three main pillars:

Strengthen Connections

We strengthen connections between sustainable finance players in the Geneva ecosystem and beyond.

Through our events, we create meaningful moments for diverse actors to connect and exchange.  In addition, we provide tools like our Ecosystem Map that support individuals and institutions in navigating the ecosystem and building their own networks.

Empower Individuals

We empower individuals to push for action on sustainable finance in their own institutions and spheres of influence.

We arm individuals with knowledge by providing them with hands-on learning opportunities.  We also provide a platform for dialogue and discussion, welcoming diverse views and ideas on sustainable finance solutions.

Mainstream Impact

We mainstream impact by raising awareness, fostering knowledge sharing, creation and incubating projects.

We put new impact themes “on the map” by providing curated and actionable knowledge for investors and financial players.  We also bring key players with different perspectives together to co-create actions for advancing impact.
