Swiss Sustainable Investment Market Study 2023

Since spring 2022, AIR has been working together with the European Sustainable Investment Forum (Eurosif), the University of Hamburg and F.I.R.S.T e. V. to develop standards for a clearer definition of sustainable investments with a focus on the contribution to a sustainable transition. Based on the published classification scheme for sustainable investments, AIR, Eurosif and the University of Hamburg are currently developing a methodology.

As part of the Swiss Sustainable Investment Market Study 2023, the Swiss Sustainable Investment Forum (SSF), in cooperation with the University of Hamburg and AIR, tested this classification in a pilot study (see press release). The pilot study aimed to gather valuable insights and empirical values, especially for the innovative classifications “Impact Aligned” and “Impact Generating”. For this purpose, investments were classified according to their main objective and level of ambition in terms of their contribution to a sustainable transition.
