EDUCATIONAL CENTER
SUSTAINABLE
INVESTMENT AND FINANCE
There's a lot going on here. Inspired by and under the direction of the Head of this Center Marlene Janoty.
As part of the center, among others:
  • we establish the programs of two postgraduate studies at ALKi SGH for people from the financial industry. Not some pita pie, but a concrete dose of knowledge for you and everyone working in financial institutions who want to get a solid portion of useful information about sustainable investments and finance,
  • we are working on a series of trainings,
  • we will create a minimum standard for study and training programmes in sustainable investment and finance — so that if you want to be educated in this area, you know what to expect from the organisers of such initiatives. This standard will refer, inter alia, to the competency map.
I refer you to Marlene for details.

Standards Center
SUSTAINABLE
INVESTMENT AND FINANCE
We divided the Standards Centre into two groups, i.e. the centre for banks (leader Joanna Alasa: j.alasa@polsif.org) and the fund market (leader Piotr Dmuchowski: p.dmuchowski@polsif.org).
Of course, these centers work closely with each other.

RESEARCH CENTER
SUSTAINABLE
INVESTMENT AND FINANCE
The work of the Centre shall be coordinated, Robert Sroka, PhD. Preparations are currently underway for a formal launch. So far, we have consulted on a method of data collection consistent for all SIFs so that next year a European report on sustainable investment and finance can be produced. We have also had discussions with some of you about the direction of action. The aim of the Research Center is to conduct such research and analysis that will support business decision-making whether at the level of organizations or sustainable products.
