SFG: An active community building the financial system of the future
Sustainable Finance Geneva (SFG) is a pioneer association dedicated to promoting sustainable finance in the Swiss market. Established in 2008 in Geneva, Switzerland, we are a grassroots network of 450+ professionals and 50+ institutions committed to building the financial system of the future – one that serves the needs of people and respects the planet.
"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."
— Marie-Laure Schaufelberger
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:
Action
Through Impact Pour Genève, we connect investors with local transition projects that offer financial, environmental and social value. We draw on the expertise of International Geneva to advance emerging impact themes such as peace finance. We are also working with the region’s pension funds, family offices and foundations to establish Geneva as a centre of excellence for blended and innovative finance.
Narrative
We want sustainable finance to rest on a concrete track record rather than on the political cycle. Through our reviews of reports, podcasts and our monthly newsletter The Bridge, we share data and practitioner perspectives that show how risk, opportunity and impact connect. We make that case on the terms each audience cares about, from banks and pension funds to public authorities.
Community
Through our events, we create spaces for members to connect, exchange and challenge each other’s opinions. Tools like our Ecosystem Maps help people and institutions navigate the ecosystem and build their own networks. We are also bringing in voices that have not traditionally been part of the sustainable finance conversation.
