6th Sustainable Investor Summit
15 MARCH ZURICH | 10 - 11 MAY VIENNA | 16 - 17 MAY FRANKFURT
WE CAN DO BETTER !
FINANCE IS A FORCE FOR GOOD.
6th SUSTAINABLE INVESTOR SUMMIT D-A-CH 2023
PUTTING CAPITAL AT WORK TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Once again, SIS is the only DACH event series, that delivered on their aim to have at least 35% quota of female speakers and therefore a higher attendance rate on female participants overall. The diverse panels and topics are proof of its successful growth.
An outstanding conference with top speakers. Simply a must for all financial market participants focused on ESG.
I appreciate the fun of discourse that comes from this conference.
The Sustainable Investor Summit has managed to bring together experts with the same goal and yet different perspectives - resulting in an extremely valuable exchange.
An interesting conference for me personally as well as for AZEK financial education. The lectures and panels provided insight into a whole range of topics. The speakers were very competent and carefully selected, so that many different points of view could be illuminated and sometimes also controversially discussed. The organisation, process and time management worked smoothly. Best thanks!
The Sustainable Investor Summits have become a fixed point in our yearly conference agenda due to the high quality of attendees with different backgrounds including asset managers, family offices, impact investors, pension funds and other institutional investors. The panel discussions are truly engaging and insightful. We can only solve the challenge of climate change if we all work together and SIS provides a very strong voice in the DACH region driving sustainable, responsible and impact investing across all asset classes.
SIS 6 - the most relevant sustainability conference in the German-speaking region. Top-class speakers, exciting and current topics and a very pleasant atmosphere - a bit like a class reunion 😊. I particularly enjoyed the BlueInvest event.
There are lots of ESG events out there. But SIS is the place to be.
With approximate 400 participants the 6th Sustainable Investor Summit in Frankfurt provided an excellent opportunity to connect with the experts from the sustainable finance community and to advance our thinking and efforts when it comes to impact investments as an important lever to transform the real economy through finance.
The „Blue Economy“ sessions of the SIS have become an annual landmark event with a good balance of overview inputs for the general audience and in depth exchange with peers.
As experts in sustainability and impact management, we have had the pleasure of meeting like-minded individuals genuinely interested in practical solutions rather than mere marketing tools. The conference underscored the significant progress we have made -from defining sustainability and impact towards measuring and managing it. Through the ICG network, we engaged in meaningful discussions not only with potential financial partners but also explored the promising real estate asset class, where we offer solutions as well. We greatly appreciate the organizers for creating an atmosphere conducive to excellent networking.
Sustainable finance is a very important catalyst for integrating a climate strategy in every company and building a resilient world, where economic growth goes hand in hand with environmental stewardship and social equity. It was great to see how the 6th Sustainable Investor Summit fosters collaboration and helps identify difficulties and related solutions.
From a sustainability perspective, there is much to be said against investing in countries and companies in authoritarian regimes such as China, but there could be also a lot to be said for it, and there are a lot of grey areas and necessary demarcations in between. There are therefore a large number of questions about how to approach this: For example, the massive human rights violations in China vs China's important role in countering climate change or should investments in government bonds of authoritarian countries be assessed differently than investments in private sector companies or in state-owned companies. I am pleased to have discussed these issues as moderator of this panel and to gain insight into how and with what rationale investors deal with these dilemmas.
As usual, the conference was very well organised and offered exciting lectures and plenty of opportunity for personal exchange! Once again, I benefited greatly from the many conversations. THANK YOU for this event! I am happy to participate again!
Excellently organized event with broad input in the sustainability field. In particular, the well-arranged panels with participants eager for discussion were very interesting and provided good ideas for further exchanges. We are pleased that we could support the event with our participation.
Concentrated sustainability competence in a good exchange!
We had a really inspiring discussion about diversity strategies at the board and in companies. Our result: a mixture of different instruments (regulation, investor engagement, mind-set-shift) would be the most powerful way for changes.
The Sustainable Investors Summit brings together experts of public and private investing with the same goal and yet different perspectives – resulting in an extremely valuable exchange.
We attended the SIS conference series for the second time and were impressed by the quality of the discussions. Also, the growing number of participants from various stakeholder groups, more than triple compared to a few years ago, is a clear sign of the growing awareness of responsible investing within the investment community. In our opinion, the summit has found an ideal positioning in the market.
SIS is a great platform for ESG professionals from different backgrounds to network.
For some years, the Sustainable Investor Summit "SIS" has become a seismograph for trends in sustainable and impact investing. The emerging topic of SIS6 in Frankfurt: Water, with a dedicated, separete "blueinvest" agenda.
Due to its extensive programme and the large number of participants, the 6th Sustainable Investor Summit showed the importance that impact investing has now also gained in Germany. Well done!
The Sustainable Investor Summits have become very valuable events for us to attend as they attract high quality attendees with different backgrounds including family offices, asset manager, impact investors and institutional investors. The discussions we have are truly insightful and help accelerate the energy transition we desperately need to solve the challenge of climate change. We can only tackle the big issues if we all work together and SIS is a great platform to exchange ideas, meet new people and get things moving!
Meeting with the sustainable investment community at SIS 6 was a pleasure. I was especially interested in the engaging conversations we had on the future of impact investing and promotion of diversity.
It was a great event with many inspiring conversations about sustainability with all ist facets. It was good to be there.
