Frankfurt, 15 March 2018
Interest in ESG, SRI and impact investing is exploding. Not long ago, interested investors had very few places to go to learn about sustainable investing and how to invest for sustainability. As more and more investors are seeking to integrate sustainability into their investment decisions they are looking for products with sustainable characteristics and the need for strong and experienced fund managers continues to increase.
The whole market place, consisting of willing investors, able intermediaries, mission-driven enterprises and projects seeking capital, and last, but not least policy makers, need a more thorough understanding of the drivers of the global impact investment and finance market.
The SUSTAINABILITY FORUM 2018 is a private event held on behalf of and by opinion leaders in the area of impact investing and finance from Germany, Austria and Switzerland (the “DACH” countries) and beyond.
The seniority and the high calibre of the participants combined with an open and dialogue-based event format will enable relationships to be established or cemented in an exclusive environment. The setting and atmosphere of the forum facilitates a constructive exchange on the latest and most innovative topics relating to impact investments and finance. The innovative and intimate character of the forum allows a direct dialogue to be held between decision-makers at investor level, leading impact asset managers, professional advisors and other important players in impact investing and finance.
The small scale of the private event, the forum is restricted to 50 participants, is ideal for discussing market changes and investment opportunities among peers and experts at top level.
