New podcast: The Geneva Connection

We are proud to partner with The Geneva Connection, a new podcast which seeks to provide fresh insights into sustainable investing, focusing on the critical role of nature and biodiversity finance. This first season consists of five episodes and explores key themes such as nature finance, impact investing, transition finance, and the social and equity dimensions of finance, featuring insights from the latest Building Bridges Summit held in December 2024 hosted by Luka Biernacki.

The podcast features a distinguished line-up of thought leaders in sustainable finance, including Patrick Odier, Karen Hitschke, August Benz, André Hoffmann, Mark Halle, Jean Pesme, Anja Hannerz, Jean-Francis Dusch, and many more. Their expertise will offer listeners a deeper understanding of the evolving financial landscape and how investment decisions can drive positive environmental change.?
