Action Lab on Sustainable Finance

Designing collaborative projects tackling current challenges in sustainable finance.

In May 2025, E4S hosted a Sustainable Finance Action Lab at IMD, bringing together over 35 participants for a dynamic roundtable workshop to ideate on pre-identified sustainable finance challenges and project pathways. The session brought together stakeholders from academia, finance, NGOs, and policy.

In just one morning, five concrete project ideas emerged. For more details on the project, have a look at our summary.

The Action Lab Ideate session enabled actors from different sectors to discuss new collaboration pathways. Participants left with a clear mandate to advance new tools, frameworks, and collaborations. The E4S team is looking forward to supporting each group in realizing the described initiatives.

Many thanks to the participants for their energy and engagement! And a special thank you to Pictet and Retraites Populaires for their support in creating this Action Lab.
