SFI–SSF Conference 2025

Sustainable Finance: Moving From Compliance to Opportunities
Datum24 Sep. 2025
Zeit13:15 - 17:20
StandortLake Side, Bellerivestrasse 170, 8008 Zurich

In partnership with Swiss Sustainable Finance 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.
