What we do

We help financial institutions, businesses, and policymakers navigate and benefit from the transition to a more sustainable and just economy.

We do this by delivering credible, evidence-based insights that support informed, forward-looking decisions. We also help to build internal capacities, while advising on communicating and managing change.

ISFC is built on three core pillars →

  • We conduct in-depth research to inform regional debates and policymaking. Our work focuses on ESG integration, sustainable investing, sustainable finance policy, sustainable banking, industry decarbonisation, and real estate.

  • We create spaces for diverse stakeholders to engage on the future of sustainable finance. Through conferences, roundtables, and expert panels, we bring leading voices from across the EU and beyond to Central and Eastern Europe.

  • We deliver tailored training, practical workshops, guest lectures, and curriculum design on key sustainable finance topics. Our programmes support financial institutions, public bodies, and academic institutions in building the knowledge and skills needed to lead the transition.
