The Cluster signs the Gender Finance Charter at the AGM of the Financial Centres for Sustainability

The Cluster signs the Gender Finance Charter at the AGM of the Financial Centres for Sustainability The highlight of this year's Annual General Meeting of the Financial Centres for Sustainability (FC4S) on September 26 in Dublin was the signing of the Gender Finance Charter, enthusiastically supported by the host country in the person of the Irish Minister of State for Financial Services, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill. Michael Schmidt represented the Cluster, which is a long-standing member of this global network of financial centers for the promotion of the SDGs and the Paris climate goals. The charter, supported by 21 initial signatories, aims to promote gender equality in the financial sector through ten concrete actions in each financial centre. The Gender Working Group established by the FC4S will provide more detailed guidance for implementation.

In addition, the 35 financial centers gathered in Dublin found it valuable to exchange views on the changing geopolitical environment and the respective projects of the individual locations. It became clear that many topics of importance to our Cluster are also important in other financial centres, such as enabling [...]

Interview with Dr. Manuel Reppmann and Jakob Kunzlmann

Interview with Dr. Manuel Reppmann and Jakob Kunzlmann The Sustainability Transformation Monitor (STM) is a collaborative project between Stiftung Mercator, the University of Hamburg, the Peerschool for Sustainable Development and the Bertelsmann Stiftung.

By means of a longitudinal survey, it examines, among other things, drivers and barriers to the transformation of business models, as well as opportunities for better integration of the real and financial economies for effective transformation financing. In an interview with Kristina Jeromin, Dr. Manuel Reppmann, University of Hamburg, and Jakob Kunzlmann, Bertelsmann Stiftung, explain the background and provide an outlook on the approaching publication of the STM. Jakob, the Bertelsmann Foundation is part of a diverse network that launched and supports the Sustainability Transformation Monitor (STM). Who else is involved and what is your goal? Jakob Kunzlmann: Two major developments took off in the last five. First, it has become increasingly clear that corporate responsibility must be thought of differently than it was from its beginnings in the late 1990s to the mid-2010s. Being a good corporate citizen and taking responsibility beyond the core business is no longer enough to minimize sustainability risks for the economy and society - the core businesses themselves must become more sustainable.
