Dansif joins Eurosif, strengthening its Nordic sustainable investment community
Eurosif, the European Sustainable Investment Forum, is delighted to announce that the Danish Sustainable Investment Forum (Dansif) has joined its network as a passive member.
Dansif's membership comes at a pivotal moment for sustainable finance in Europe. As investors navigate an increasingly complex economic, regulatory and geopolitical landscape, collaboration across national sustainable finance communities is becoming ever more important to support resilience, long-term value creation and the effective management of sustainability-related risks and opportunities.
The addition of Dansif deepens Eurosif's representation in the Nordic region, one of Europe's most advanced sustainable investment markets. Together with Swesif and Finsif, Dansif's participation further reinforces Eurosif's and its members’ ability to foster knowledge-sharing, capacity-building and market development across Europe.
Founded in 2008 on the initiative of institutional investors and advisers, Dansif is an impartial forum for stakeholders in Denmark with a significant interest in responsible investment. It seeks to disseminate and exchange experiences among its members and to facilitate a broad and informed debate on responsible investment.
As Dansif does not engage in advocacy activities, it joins Eurosif as a passive member. This means that Dansif is part of the Eurosif network and actively involved in its exchanges, activities and knowledge-sharing, without taking part in advocacy work or influencing Eurosif's policy positions.
Commenting on the announcement, Nathalie Dogniez, Chair of Eurosif, said: "We are delighted to welcome Dansif as a passive member of Eurosif. Denmark has long been recognised for its strong commitment to responsible investment and sustainable business practices and Dansif plays a key role in advancing these efforts at national level. Their expertise and perspectives will enrich our discussions and strengthen our mission of advancing sustainable finance across Europe.”
Mikael Bek, Chair of Dansif, added: “We are pleased to join the Eurosif network as a passive member and to strengthen our connections with sustainable investment communities across Europe. In a time of significant economic, regulatory and geopolitical change, exchanging knowledge and practical experience is essential to help investors navigate emerging challenges and opportunities. We look forward to contributing the Danish perspective to Eurosif's activities and to learning from peers across the network as we collectively support the continued development of responsible and sustainable investment practices.”
