CSP’s Fifth Anniversary — Check our Activity Report 2021–2022
Today marks the fifth anniversary of CSP! Our organization started as a spin-off of the Impact Investing for the Next Generation program, the renowned training for NextGen wealth owners organized by the Initiative for Responsible Investment at the Harvard Kennedy School, with whom we continue to collaborate.
With our initial small team, we started our Center for Sustainable Finance and Private Wealth at the University of Zurich and built it into a center with a staff of about twenty, a strong research pillar, a training pillar and outreach activities to bring our research insights to wealth owners and wealth managers.
After the early start-up years, we spread our wings and have taken off to bring our insights to new regions and new audiences. We currently have seven programs, are expanding into Asia and North America, and are preparing to launch a fundamental research program: “Evidence for Impact”.
