About

It is widely recognised that today's financial system does not actively reward long-term thinking. Often, it can actually work against efforts to build a sustainable economy.

CISL’s Centre for Sustainable Finance is a research, education and practice hub on financial market reform to help governments, financial institutions and businesses build a sustainable financial system. Its work is underpinned by insights from CISL’s finance sector business groups, made up of leaders from over 50 financial institutions across five continents.
