Growing Sustainable Finance - Challenges, Opportunities, and Solutions 2021 | Swiss Finance Institute | 27 October 2021 | Lake Side, Bellerivestrasse 170, 8008 Zürich, Switzerland

The path to sustainable finance is no longer a utopian dream. Sustainable finance has become a megatrend, and the banking sector has an important role to play in redirecting capital flows and financing the green deal. The Swiss financial center recognized early the direction of travel and has already started to realign itself with regard to the challenges we are all facing. This is demonstrated by the impressive number of sustainable finance initiatives from Swiss industry players. Nevertheless, we are only at the beginning of what will be a far-reaching transformation, and various regulatory and procedural hurdles still need to be overcome. Together with Swiss Sustainable Finance (SSF) and the Swiss Bankers Association (SBA), the Swiss Finance Institute is holding a high-profile conference with the aim of examining the challenges, the enormous growth potential, and the viable solutions that go hand in hand with the establishment of a sustainably oriented financial sector.
