SUMMARY:Networking Event Series: Sustainable Portfolio Strategies
DESCRIPTION:[German Version Below] \nThis event was part of our Networking Event Series powered by Innosuisse. \n“Firms that adopt responsible social and environmental practices become more resilient\, which helps them avoid crises and bounce back from shocks. They have lower financial volatility\, higher sales growth\, and higher chances of survival over a 15-year period; yet\, we were unable to find any differences in short-term profits.” Ortiz-de-Mandojana\, N.\, & Bansal\, P. (2016).  \nWith good reason\, sustainable investing has been on the rise\, with an increasing number of investors incorporating ESG factors into their decision-making processes. However\, the surge in sustainable investing is accompanied by challenges\, including backlash on ESG clarity and the broad definition\, highlighting the delicate balance in addressing medium to long-term global issues within the sustainable investment landscape. Despite these challenges\, there’s been tremendous growth in the underlying building blocks you can use to build a sustainable portfolio with attractive options for all types of investors. \nThe question remains: What defines a sustainable portfolio\, and how do we navigate the balance between fixed income\, equity\, and alternative investments? \nJoin us as we seek the answers to these questions and more. \nDiese Veranstaltung war Teil unserer Networking Event Series powered by Innosuisse. \nMit gutem Grund hat nachhaltiges Investieren zugenommen\, da eine steigende Anzahl von Investoren ESG-Faktoren in ihre Entscheidungsprozesse einbezieht. Allerdings geht der Anstieg nachhaltiger Investitionen mit Herausforderungen einher\, darunter Kritik an der Klarheit und der breiten Definition von ESG\, was das feine Gleichgewicht bei der Bewältigung mittel- bis langfristiger globaler Probleme im nachhaltigen Anlagebereich verdeutlicht. Trotz dieser Herausforderungen gab es enormes Wachstum in den zugrunde liegenden Bausteinen\, die verwendet werden können\, um ein nachhaltiges Portfolio mit attraktiven Optionen für alle Arten von Investoren aufzubauen. \nDie Frage bleibt: Was definiert ein nachhaltiges Portfolio\, und wie navigieren wir zwischen festverzinslichen Wertpapieren\, Aktien und alternativen Investitionen? \nSei dabei\, wenn wir besprechen\, wie man ein nachhaltiges Portfolio aufbaut.

What is the most rational path Swiss companies can take to manage and disclose their climate risks and opportunities according to the TCFD recommendations?\nThe second edition of the Swiss Climate Reporting Forum explores how Swiss companies can build the capabilities they will require in the short term to effectively manage these pressing issues\, and leverage them in the medium-to-long-term for the advantage of their stakeholders. \nEvent participants will share both knowledge and insights in plenary sessions and workshops covering all pillars of the TCFD Recommendations. Topics will be clustered around themes\, including:\n– Climate reporting\, technology\, and data\n– Climate risk strategy: Identification\, integration\, management\, and mitigation\n– The role of governance and culture \nBy the end of the event\, participants will take with them real cases from peers and experts – and what steps they took to overcome the challenges. This cross-industry transfer of knowledge will be vital for companies to efficiently build their capabilities to meet the reporting requirements and gain a lasting advantage in the marketplace. \nConfirmed Speakers: \n \nProgramme: \n\n\n\n08:30 – 09:00\nRegistration & Coffee\n\n\n09:00 – 09:15\nWelcome by GreenBuzz\, CelsiusPro\, Pelt8 & SIX\n\n\n09:15 – 09:30\nOpening Keynote by Nathalie Flores\n\n\n09:30 – 10:15\nPlenary Session I – Panel on Sustainable Futures\n\n\n10:15 – 10:45\nBreak & Networking\n\n\n10:50 – 12:00\nFocus Session I (BearingPoint\, KPMG\, Pelt8\, CelsiusPro)\n\n\n12:00 – 13:20\nLunch\n\n\n13:20 – 13:50\nFireside Chat with Elisabeth Stern (KlimaSeniorinnen) & Stephanie Feeney (Restor)\n\n\n14:00 – 15:10\nFocus Session II (CelsiusPro\, S&P Global\, FGS Global\, Walder Wyss\, Pelt8)\n\n\n15:30 – 15:45\nAfternoon Keynote by Magali Anderson\n\n\n15:45 – 16:45\nPlenary Session II – Navigating regulatory developments in Switzerland and the EU\n\n\n16:45 – 17:00\nClosing Keynote by Chris Luebkeman\n\n\n17:00 – 19:00\nApéro and Buzzing\n\n\n\nFocus Sessions: \n \nClear Governance & strong cultural foundation as key success factors of your sustainability reporting journey: A key success factor to establish a sustainability-oriented organization going beyond regulatory requirements is not only a robust governance and processes\, but also the manifestation into the cultural foundation through proper change management. \n \nClimate Risk Management – Identifying and assessing the financial impact of climate risk: Experts will delve into materiality assessment and scenario analysis methods in assessing the financial impacts of climate events on business. \n \nFrom Scope 3 Reporting to Stakeholder Engagement: Within the framework of Scope 3\, companies are required to gather data on business practices from their stakeholders\, including suppliers\, clients\, or portfolio companies.

SUMMARY:Thematic Event: Digitalization\, Sustainability and Data Centers
DESCRIPTION:Alongside the social impacts of digitalization\, arguably a neglected aspect – yet a crucial piece of the puzzle – is the power and data capacities necessary to sustain growth and demand. As the World Bank states in a 2023 report\, a greening of this data infrastructure is crucial to wider sustainability efforts: “By reducing the environmental footprint of data centers\, countries can lower emissions and meet sustainability goals.” At the same time\, data centers have become indispensable to society and economic growth\, yet are themselves vulnerable to climate risks. \nAt this event held at Digital Realty – Switzerland’s largest and CO2-neutral data center – we will take a deep-dive into this critical topic which affects businesses\, individuals and society alike. With contributions from data centers\, infrastructure providers\, networks and academia\, we will look at what can be done to move us to a more sustainable IT infrastructure in terms of energy efficiency\, materials\, water usage and power.  \nAs well as this\, Digital Realty is also offering a unique behind-the-scenes look at their data center\, with an optional tour starting at 17:30 – registration required. \nInterested in joining us? \nWe kindly ask that you arrive on time if you would like to join the tour. There will be strict security on site\, so admission is only possible with government-issued ID (driving licence\, Ausweiss or passport only).  \nUpdate: the tour tickets have now sold out\, but if you are interested please add your name here so we can open up an extra tour. \nProgramme: \nTour participants:\n17:30 – 17:45 Registration and security open\n17:45 – 18:30 Tour of data center \nAll participants:\n18:00 – 18:45 Registration / Welcome Drinks\n18:45 – 20:15 Speakers input\, panel discussion and Q&A\n20:15 – 21:45 Apéro and Buzzing

SUMMARY:Thematic Event: Carbon as Currency?
DESCRIPTION:Despite pledges and international agreements\, global carbon emissions are still on the rise. In order to come anywhere near reaching the 1.5 goal of the Paris Climate Agreement\, rethinking of economic systems and large scale climate solutions are needed. Digitisation is opening up new possibilities – for the environment\, the economic system and for purchasing. “Commonomics”\, for example\, is an economic model based around sustainability and grassroots initiatives\, and the 2020 blockbuster novel “The Ministry for the Future” explored the idea of a carbon coin to reduce emissions.  At this one-of-a-kind event\, we will explore the intersection of blockchain\, currency\, and carbon and explore the feasibility of a genuine greening of economics and trade. \nWe will bring together experts from economics\, digital currency and academia to address questions including: \n\nCan economic activity be linked to carbon mitigation outcomes?\nCan blockchain and digital currencies ever be sustainable or even carbon-positive?\nHow can we manage our common resources in a sustainable and equitable way?\n…and much more!\n\nJoin us for an open discussion on whether a new sustainable economy can become a reality in Switzerland and beyond.

SUMMARY:Networking Event Series: Investing in Water
DESCRIPTION:[German Version Below] \nThis event was part of our Networking Event Series powered by Innosuisse. \nFor a long time\, water has been somewhat overlooked as carbon and net-zero journeys have dominated the headlines. But the tide is turning\, with this most fundamental resource gaining greater attention. Indeed\, COP28 committed to “drive water up the climate agenda\,” something reflected in investments too\, with water steadily moving from niche to mainstream. \nAs we dedicate an event to this crucial topic which affects us all\, we will look at: \n\nWhat are the current trends and challenges in the water sector?\nWhat are the long-term prospects for water investments in the face of global megatrends like urbanization\, population growth\, and climate change?\nHow can water infrastructure in Switzerland and globally benefit from investment?\nWhat vanguard technologies are helping address water challenges?\n\nThis event is tailored for investors\, asset managers\, sustainability professionals\, policymakers\, water tech entrepreneurs\, and anyone interested in understanding the opportunities and challenges associated with investing in water. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to gain insights from industry experts\, network with like-minded professionals\, and explore how investing in water can drive both financial returns and positive environmental impact. \n“It’s time to treat water like we treat carbon. The time for action on carbon has been widely and successfully accepted. The time for action on water is now.” \n– Jay Famiglietti\, executive director of the Global Institute for Water Security (GIWS) \n\nDiese Veranstaltung war Teil unserer Networking Event Series powered by Innosuisse. \nLange Zeit wurde das Thema Wasser etwas vernachlässigt\, da die Schlagzeilen von Kohlenstoff und Netto-Null-Fahrten dominiert wurden. Doch das Blatt wendet sich\, und diese grundlegende Ressource erhält mehr Aufmerksamkeit. Auf der COP28 wurde zugesagt\, das Thema Wasser auf der Klimaagenda weiter nach oben zu bringen\, was sich auch in den Investitionen widerspiegelt\, da Wasser immer mehr von der Nische zum Mainstream wird. \nDa wir diesem wichtigen Thema\, das uns alle betrifft\, eine Veranstaltung widmen\, werden wir uns damit befassen: \nWas sind die aktuellen Trends und Herausforderungen im Wassersektor?\nWas sind die langfristigen Perspektiven für Wasserinvestitionen angesichts globaler Megatrends wie Urbanisierung\, Bevölkerungswachstum und Klimawandel?\nWie kann die Wasserinfrastruktur in der Schweiz und weltweit von Investitionen profitieren?\nWelche zukunftsweisenden Technologien helfen bei der Bewältigung der Wasserproblematik? \nDiese Veranstaltung richtet sich an Investoren\, Vermögensverwalter\, Nachhaltigkeitsexperten\, politische Entscheidungsträger\, Wassertechnologie-Unternehmer und alle\, die die Chancen und Herausforderungen von Investitionen in Wasser verstehen wollen. \nVerpassen Sie nicht die Gelegenheit\, Einblicke von Branchenexperten zu erhalten\, sich mit gleichgesinnten Fachleuten zu vernetzen und zu erkunden\, wie Investitionen in Wasser sowohl finanzielle Erträge als auch positive Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt bringen können. \n„Es ist an der Zeit\, Wasser so zu behandeln\, wie wir Kohlenstoff behandeln. Die Zeit für Maßnahmen in Bezug auf Kohlenstoff wurde weithin und erfolgreich akzeptiert. Die Zeit für Maßnahmen im Bereich Wasser ist jetzt gekommen“. \n– Jay Famiglietti\, geschäftsführender Direktor des Global Institute for Water Security (GIWS)

SUMMARY:Built to last? Product longevity and repairability in Switzerland and beyond
DESCRIPTION:“Our economy is built on the assumption of endless growth. But when we take a closer look at the underlying resources\, we realise that this is unsustainable. We need to design products with their end of life in mind and create systems that make repair and reuse not just possible but desirable.”  \n– Kate Raworth \nIt’s now widely recognised that humanity’s throwaway and consumerist culture is profoundly unsustainable\, and that a shift towards durable and repairable products is a necessity. Of course\, with many challenges and systemic inertia to overcome\, how feasible is such a transformation?  \nThis is precisely the question we will tackle at this joint event between GreenBuzz and One Planet Lab as part of the Tsüri.ch circularity month. We will draw on perspectives from other countries to see how Switzerland can learn best repairability practices from elsewhere. Expect to hear of exciting innovations and companies who are already building in longevity from the ground up\, as well as policies and regulations which can promote this from top-down. Finally\, we will look at incentives\, jobs and skills needed to connect the dots and ensure success.  \nWhether you are already heavily involved in the topic or keen to learn more\, come and be part of the conversation.

SUMMARY:Thematic Event: Can Winter Sports Events Be Sustainable?
DESCRIPTION:As winter approaches\, excitement builds towards another winter sports season – but for how much longer? As weather and snowfall become more unpredictable\, this cornerstone of Swiss winters will face more challenges moving forward. \nOutdoor winter sports events are impacted by climate change\, but at the same time offering a powerful platform to influence wider sustainable practices and behaviours. On 28 November\, we brought together key stakeholders in outdoor winter sports to address questions including: \n\nWhat is driving the environmental footprint of outdoor winter sports events? How does this footprint compare to that of other sports and entertainment products?\nWhat can stakeholders do to advance environmental sustainability of outdoor winter sports events? How can a constructive dialog be initiated and maintained?\nWhat is the role of corporate sponsorship in ensuring a positive impact?\nHow sustainable are winter sports events/locations in the face of climate change – and how can they become more environmentally friendly?\nWhat can be the sustainable legacy of sporting events?\n\nThis was an engaging discussion that explored the powerful intersection of sports and environmental responsibility.

SUMMARY:Networking Event Series: Rethinking Corporate Ownership
DESCRIPTION:[German Version Below] \nThis event was part of our Networking Event Series powered by Innosuisse. \n“The law gives me the absolute right over this company. The law gives me the right to take everything. But I feel that is not right. It doesn’t all belong to me. It also belongs to employees and society.” – Ernst Abbe\, Founder\, Carl Zeiss Foundation \nIn a time of unprecedented change\, is it time to reassess the very idea of corporate ownership? \nIn this stimulating event\, we explored how restructured ownership can help build a future-oriented and sustainable Swiss economy. We looked at alternative models such as steward ownership\, a fast-growing international movement with many success stories. \nProminent examples range from innovative startups as Crowd Container\, outdoor retail companies like Patagonia to industry-leaders as Bosch. \n\n\nData even shows that steward-owned companies are more durable and even more profitable\, and mission-driven organisations can maintain their identity and independence. \nWith speakers from various standpoints\, we explored some fundamental questions including: \n\nWhat is ownership\, and what does its future look like?\nWhat is the relevance of ownership to responsible business practices and the New Economy?\nHow can succession through alternative forms of ownership be sustainably structured\, and address social responsibility and skilled labour shortages?\n\nThis was a thought-provoking evening looking at how companies can pivot towards purposeful and people-centric ownership. \n\n—– \nDiese Veranstaltung war Teil unserer Networking Event Series powered by Innosuisse. \n„Das Gesetz gibt mir das absolute Recht über dieses Unternehmen. Das Gesetz gibt mir das Recht\, alles zu übernehmen. Aber ich finde\, das ist nicht richtig. Es gehört nicht alles mir. Es gehört auch den Mitarbeitern und der Gesellschaft.“ – Ernst Abbe\, Gründer\, Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung \nIst es in einer Zeit des beispiellosen Wandels an der Zeit\, die Idee des Unternehmenseigentums neu zu überdenken? \nIn dieser anregenden Veranstaltung untersuchten wir\, wie neu strukturierte Eigentumsverhältnisse zum Aufbau einer zukunftsorientierten und nachhaltigen Schweizer Wirtschaft beitragen können. Wir untersuchten alternative Modelle wie Steward Ownership\, eine schnell wachsende internationale Bewegung mit vielen Erfolgsgeschichten. \nProminente Beispiele reichen von innovativen Start-ups wie Crowd Container über Outdoor-Einzelhandelsunternehmen wie Patagonia bis hin zu Branchenführern wie Bosch. \nDaten zeigen sogar\, dass Unternehmen\, die sich im Besitz von Verwaltern befinden\, langlebiger und sogar profitabler sind\, und dass missionsorientierte Organisationen ihre Identität und Unabhängigkeit bewahren können. \nMit Referenten aus verschiedenen Richtungen gingen wir einigen grundlegenden Fragen nach\, darunter: \nWas ist Eigentum\, und wie sieht seine Zukunft aus?\nWelche Bedeutung hat das Eigentum für verantwortungsvolle Geschäftspraktiken und die New Economy?\nWie kann die Nachfolge durch alternative Eigentumsformen nachhaltig gestaltet werden und wie können soziale Verantwortung und Fachkräftemangel berücksichtigt werden? \nDies war ein Abend\, der zum Nachdenken darüber anregte\, wie Unternehmen zu einer zielgerichteten und menschenzentrierten Eigentümerschaft übergehen können.

Across many breakout sessions on different topics\, participants heard valuable input\, exchange ideas\, and priceless guidance from sustainability professionals. \nAs sustainability becomes the new normal in business\, the definition of a sustainable job is itself widening. At the same time\, arming yourself with the skills required for achieving impact – within a company and out in the world – are more important than ever. \nAt this informative event with Swiss Climate\, we tackled questions including: \n\nWhat is important to consider when applying for a job in sustainability?\nWhat does a career in sustainability involve?\nWhat diverse opportunities exist in this field?\nWhat skills can I develop to contribute to sustainability initiatives in my current organization?\nHow can I advocate for and implement sustainable practices within my organization?

SUMMARY:Retail Finance & Impact Investing
DESCRIPTION:Individual investors are increasingly considering the impact of investments and aligning portfolios to their values. Indeed\, a Deloitte survey of retail investors found that 78% consider sustainability an important aspect.

SUMMARY:Beyond Headlines - Sustainability and the Media
DESCRIPTION:As sustainability has become part of public discourse and headlines\, this is a double-edged sword with its own challenges. Companies especially face increasing pressure to strike the right balance: how do you communicate your sustainability efforts without falling into the traps of greenwashing or greenhushing? \nAnd as if that wasn’t challenging enough\, the realities of climate change and intricacies of sustainability issues usually are very complex and can easily lead to polarisation in media. \nThis was a dynamic and engaging evening featuring perspectives from national media\, communication agencies\, and multinational corporations. Together\, we explored the complexities of climate storytelling\, corporate responsibility\, and the media’s influence on driving real change. \nKey Questions Discussed: \n\nHow can companies communicate their sustainability initiatives transparently and credibly?\nWhat role does the media play in holding companies accountable while inspiring action?\nHow can we identify and avoid the pitfalls of greenwashing and greenhushing?\nWhat are the emerging trends in sustainability communication\, and how are audiences responding?\nHow can media and businesses collaborate to create an impactful\, solution-focused climate narrative?
