Swiss Sustainable Finance Events

The workshop of September 9th will be a platform for industry peers to exchange on their experience with the implementation of the new version of the ASIP reporting guideline – sharing reflections on conversations with beneficiaries and other stakeholders, discussing decisions made on the basis of the ESG reporting and communication measures used to disseminate it, what challenges that pension funds still face in preparing it, what best practices that have emerged which could be shared and extended to the industry, etc.

• Dr. Ingeborg Schumacher, Servisa Sammeltiftung, will open the conversation by sharing key messages from her recent study «Needs for ESG reporting by Swiss Pension Funds, 2025»
• Marco Tiefenthal, PwC co-lead Pension Funds, will share insights on the market studies they have conducted and are conducting on ASIP ESG reporting 
• Laure Castella, Retraites Populaires, and Romain Leroy-Castillo, SSF, will facilitate the discussion, guiding participants through an open exchange on the implementation of the ASIP ESG reporting guidelines in their respective institutions.
• Other speakers will be announced in the course of the Summer.

We are seeking members who are active in this area and willing to contribute. Seats for this event are limited.

In partnership with Swiss Finance Institute and in association with Building Bridges, the Swiss Finance Institute is hosting the fifth edition of its renowned conference on current sustainable finance issues. This year's theme is "Sustainable Finance: Moving from Compliance to Opportunities". The conference will be held in Zurich on Wednesday, 24 September 2025.

Sustainable finance is often viewed as a compliance exercise aimed at meeting regulatory requirements and addressing social and political expectations. However, given the evolving political landscape it is increasingly important to assess the true value and real-world impact of sustainable financial practices. Recognizing sustainable finance as a strategic opportunity rather than just an obligation enables more effective capital allocation toward efforts to address urgent environmental and social challenges, while also improving investment strategies. This conference offers a platform from which to explore whether moving beyond compliance can unlock real value—financially, environmentally, and socially.
