ABOUT WISF
Women in Sustainable Finance (WISF) is an international network of female professionals who share the vision of transforming the financial industry to create a more sustainable and inclusive world for everyone.
Founded in Zurich in 2018, our network rapidly grew from Switzerland to all around the globe, reaching women committed to the same vision. We have members from across the globe and we are convinced that the financial industry is one of the most effective levers to protect our planet and create a sustainable future.

Our community is formed by more than 5,000 members and followers from diverse backgrounds. Our members work both in the financial space and other industries, NGOs, and Academia.
