Mission

Eurosif's Mission is to Develop Sustainability through European Financial Markets.

Eurosif acts as a partnership of the national Sustainable Investment Forums (SIFs) within the EU and with the support and involvement of Member Affiliates. The five initial SIF that founded Eurosif in 2001 are from FranceGermanyItalyThe Netherlands and the UK. The Belgian, Spanish and Swedish SIFs have joined later as members. 

Eurosif’s Member Affiliates include institutional investors, financial service providers, academic institutes, trade unions and NGOs. The association is a not-for-profit entity that represents assets totaling over €1 trillion through its Member Affiliates.

The activities where Eurosif focuses resources revolve around helping Member Affiliates with Promoting and Networking (both SRI and their own services). To this end, Eurosif has four main objectives:

  1. EU Lobbying: To act as the voice of the SRI community to the European legislative and decision making bodies such as the European Commission and European Parliament. 
  2. Research: To initiate and publish research related to legislation, policies and practices for the integration of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues into European financial services.
  3. Events/Communications: To inform, educate and provide a European network for discussion about sustainable financial services.
  4. Network: To actively expand the above European network by supporting the development of existing SIFs and encouraging the creation of new national SIFs.
