Analysis and Recommendations.

Systematic consideration of environmental, social and governance risks, along with the associated opportunities, is of increasing importance for financial services providers. Since 2015, when the Paris Climate Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals extended the same obligation to financial services providers as major players, financial education has increasingly come into focus as an important lever for greater sustainability in the economy. Sustainability integration in financial education and training is still in its infancy. In collaboration with Swiss Sustainable Finance, the FOEN wants to seize this opportunity and ensure, in dialogue with the players, that sustainable finance becomes an integral part of financial education.
