The Swedish & Finnish Sustainable Investment Fora to join Eurosif

03 November 2022

Eurosif is delighted to announce that Sweden’s Sustainable Investment Forum (Swesif) and FINSIF - Finland's Sustainable Investment Forum are to join 7 other leading sustainable investment fora from across Europe as members of Eurosif.

With the implementation of the EU’s broad ranging sustainable finance action plan and other additional regulatory developments well underway, the industry faces many challenges in navigating and meeting such a complex set of new requirements.  Eurosif and its growing membership are well placed to play a critical role in supporting the industry to understand these requirements and to feedback to the Commission how effective the regulations are in delivering the EU’s policy goals or where they need to be further improved.

Swesif and Finsif’s members will now have the opportunity to work closely with the Eurosif team and other members of the association during this period of significant industry change.  The expertise and important perspective of leading players in the Nordic markets, which are some of the most advanced and sophisticated in the EU, will strengthen Eurosif and its influence with policy makers across Europe and beyond.

Will Oulton, Chairman of Eurosif commented: “I am delighted that Swesif and Finsif, two of Europe’s leading sustainable investment organisations, will become members of Eurosif.  Their participation will further enhance the associations reach and influence at this critically important time in the development of sustainable finance across Europe.  I am looking forward to working closely with them going forward on the many challenges ahead.”  

Aleksandra Palinska, Eurosif Executive Director: “We look forward to having Swesif and Finsif join Eurosif as full members. Through joining the network of leading European SIFs, Swesif and Finsif will further be able to contribute their substantial knowledge and experience to promote sustainable finance across the EU.”
