Sustainable Finance

The topic of sustainability is becoming increasingly important for our society. Therefore, it is also becoming more crucial in the financial sector to offer sustainable corporate financing, investment products, and investment strategies. Additionally, financial service providers are required to operate sustainably within their own companies. This educational material addresses these and other topics in a clear manner. To understand the dynamics inherent in this field, the concept of sustainable development is outlined through a global overview, and the current European regulations as well as the emergence of Swiss regulations are explained. A discussion of future challenges related to the topic and modern terminology such as greenwashing is also included in this educational resource.

With "Sustainable Finance," there is now an educational tool specifically tailored to the Swiss financial market. It explains current developments using product examples and critically examines recent trends, such as the introduction of taxonomies.

"Sustainable Finance" is suitable for use in universities of applied sciences or vocational schools, as well as for job-specific training in the financial services industry. For the privately interested reader, the title provides an overview of one of the most current topics in banking.
