About the Event
About the Event
ICF’s Sustainable Investor Summit (SIS) is the leading conference series on sustainable & transition finance and impact investing for institutional and semi-professional investors in the DACH region.
The SIS supports the crucial role of investors and asset managers in driving the transition to a more sustainable economy.
SIS unites a diverse group of stakeholders, including institutional and semi-professional investors, asset managers, corporations, policy makers, academics, regulators, NGOs, banks, DFIs and industry experts, to share insights and foster collaboration.
By capturing different perspectives on global sustainability topics, the conference aims to identify pressing challenges and burning issues and seek innovative solutions in order to drive positive change.
SIS is a platform for dialogue and knowledge exchange within the sustainable investment community. We believe that finance is a force for good – join us in shaping the future of sustainable finance.

We are supported by
ClimatePartner supports companies in climate action: With our solution combining software and consulting, we support our clients in making a contribution to climate action and anchoring it in their strategy. Companies calculate carbon footprints for them or their products, set reduction targets, implement reductions, finance climate projects and are supported by ClimatePartner through to the communication of their climate action commitment. These five steps can be transparently tracked with the label ClimatePartner certified and the corresponding climate-ID page. Where these requirements cannot yet be met, we provide the opportunity to contribute to financing climate projects. This commitment can be demonstrated via the Financial climate contribution label as well as ClimatePartner’s established ID tracking.
ClimatePartner was founded in Munich in 2006. Our more than 500 employees in Barcelona, Berlin, Boston, Essen, Frankfurt, London, Milan, Munich (HQ), Paris, Stockholm, The Hague, Vienna, and Zurich support more than 6,000 companies from over 60 countries.
