Fostering a more holistic Swiss fintech ecosystem with software solutions for sustainability challenges
(February 20th, 2023) Generation Impact Global S.A. (Société Anonyme), a public limited company in Switzerland, announces that it has joined the Swiss Finance + Technology Association (SFTA), a non-profit association which seeks to support the development of the Swiss FinTech ecosystem.
Generation Impact Global is an ESG (environmental, social, governance) data management and sustainability reporting software company. The company’s Generation Impact (or “GI”) platform consolidates key global ESG frameworks into a one-stop, customizable, digital interface that facilitates secure measurement, management, analysis and reporting of non-financial data. GI licenses leading sustainability reporting frameworks and methodologies including GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board), and applies TCFD (Task Force on Climate – Related Financial Disclosures), CSRD, Taxonomy and more, with additional standards continually being added to the platform. This integration within a single platform also allows users to achieve interoperability and improve oversight.
Generation Impact Global’s joining of SFTA comes at a critical juncture, particularly as companies face increasing pressure to address sustainability challenges and improve non-financial disclosures. Explaining her company’s decision to join SFTA, Anna Shpak, Founder and CEO of GI Global, said, “We want to work together with like-minded partners and stakeholders to contribute to the continued development of the fintech ecosystem in Switzerland, Europe and around the world. More specifically, we want to champion a more holistic approach to the future of business. We want to better recognize and prioritize non-financial goals, metrics and indicators, and to support companies in navigating the complexities of ESG management, reporting, and legislation. We believe that by leveraging technology, we can help to make it easier for companies to do better, and build a more sustainable future together.”
Generation Impact Global is committed to helping its partners tackle the most pressing ESG challenges and drive both financial and non-financial performance, through innovative software solutions that empower decision-makers to take action on ESG issues, increase shareholder value, and drive sustainable growth.
