On Wednesday, November 9, the ISFB was one of the 4 guests of the annual forum on sustainable finance education organized by the Swiss Sustainable Finance.

In the first round table, Sophie Chardon of Lombard Odier & Cie Ltd and Marie-Laure Schaufelberger (Pictet Group) offered an insightful analysis of the financial sector's training needs. In the second act, Mr. Frédéric Ruiz, Director of Training at ISFB, and Mr. Nathan Sussman, Professor of Finance and Development at the Geneva Graduate Institute, each brought a vision of the bridges that need to be built between academic research and professional training, with a common thread running through both worlds: certain issues deserve a more extensive scientific research base (effectiveness of regulations, performance of sustainable portfolios, impact calculations, etc.).
