Our Mission
Our alliance of Member Universities hosts an Annual Conference to discuss new research and opportunities.
The Global Research Alliance for Sustainable Finance and Investment (GRASFI) was founded in 2017 to promote multi-disciplinary academic research on Sustainable Finance and Investment. This Alliance comprises global research universities, each with expertise in this field.
The Alliance aims to: organise the major international annual academic conference on Sustainable Finance and Investment; develop academic collaboration between researchers working in this field; and nurture the growth and development of graduate students and emerging scholars working on Sustainable Finance and Investment.
The subject of Sustainable Finance and Investment is of growing importance among practitioners, policymakers, and civil society. Improved quality and quantity of academic research in this area is vital.
High-quality, rigorous academic research can inform necessary developments in the theory and practice of Sustainable Finance and Investment. Aligning the financial system with global environmental sustainability is essential for the implementation of Climate Change Agreements and the Sustainable Development Goals.
Executive Director
Heidi joined the Alliance in July 2022, ahead of the 2022 GRASFI conference. She brings more than 20 years of experience in financial services and academic research.
GRASFI doesn’t teach or provide accreditation.
GRASFI does collectively approve who our Member Universities are, promoting their teaching and research.
GRASFI is not a service provider.
We support our individual Member Universities, by promoting their Sustainable Finance and Investment activities.
Our executive team implements the decisions and initiatives of the Alliance of these same Member Universities, as directed by the GRASFI Board, Committees, and Members (at our AGM). Member fees make this possible.
Contact us if you are interested in partnering with us or sponsoring an upcoming Annual Conference.
