Sustainable Finance Geneva wants our region to become the capital of sustainable finance

081030_sfg.jpgToday, experts in sustainable and responsible investment are launching a new association, Sustainable Finance Geneva (SFG), created to promote financial solutions reconciling economic development with social and environmental challenges. SFG is an association created by fifteen professionals with a common interest in promoting sustainable finance and responsible investment. They saw a unique opportunity to accelerate progress and create synergies in this field. After several months of discussions, the founding documents were signed in November, 2007. “We have been meeting in order to share our knowledge and strengthen an international movement in favour of sustainable investment”, notes Angela de Wolff, SFG’s President. The initiative has been created by fifteen interdisciplinary experts specialized in Socially Responsible Investment (SRI), Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) research, microfinance, philanthropy, Corporate social responsibility (CSR), and sustainable development professionals from international organizations. Sustainable finance reconciles the traditional objectives of investors with the environmental and socio-economics challenges, within the framework of loans, investments and other financial services.
