The past three years have seen a pandemic, war in Europe, a surge in inflation, and a record for greenhouse gas emissions and concentrations. These overwhelming events reveal that the need for positive change is more acute than ever. And the Swiss financial sector is increasingly looking for sustainable solutions—from regulation to investing to financing—to speed up the positive trends that have been developing over the last decade. In partnership with Swiss Sustainable Finance (SSF) and in association with Building Bridges (BB), the Swiss Finance Institute (SFI) is holding a high-profile conference on 6 October 2022 in Zurich to examine the new challenges we face and to explore what solutions need to be developed and what actions need to be undertaken to achieve a more sustainable society.
