As EU regulation rolls out potently across the E, S and G areas, translation and implementation at the country level become paramount. In turn, governments are evolving their domestic responses to ESG, notably on climate change based on their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement. In the biggest European institutional markets, this is rapidly translating into pension fund attention on ESG reporting, strategy and related asset decisions.
This series of RI country events drops down to the country level to bring together the country’s policy makers, regulators, investors, asset managers and service providers to examine and discuss these developments.
The RI country spotlight conferences are week-long events, comprising 5 main plenary discussion sessions (one per day, Mon-Fri), plus dedicated case studies.
ESG developments in Switzerland that will be discussed:
For the country’s 2000 pension funds (AUM €750bn+), the traditional ESG focus has been on exclusion and ESG integration (for risk management). In the last year engagement, voting, and impact investing have grown significantly for asset owners, as HNW/private bank investors also sharpen their ESG attention. Swiss pension funds and insurers are also subject to regular PACTA (Paris Agreement Capital Transition Assessment) measures by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN), testing their alignment against Paris 2 degrees targets. This RI country spotlight conference for Switzerland will reflect a very pragmatic institutional market that wants practical “how-to guides” and results-driven panel discussions.
