Voices from The SFL Partner Day
Stina Söderqvist at Doconomy, what are your thoughts on the SFL Partner Day?
“It is an excellent opportunity to hear about sustainability work from different angles and to network with interesting and knowledgeable people.”
What are your main takeaways?
“We all know sustainability is a complex topic that needs to be addressed from several angles. For me, typically focusing on sustainable change from an end-user perspective, it was interesting to get more insight into what is being done in other fields aiming to solve the same problem. It was also interesting to note that the challenges we face are to such a large extent shared.”
Did you have a chance to network and meet new contacts?
“Yes.”
Jalil El Khalifi at ISS STOXX, what are your thoughts on the SFL Partner Day?
“The SFL Partner Day is a very well-organized event that brings together researchers, agencies, and various sustainable finance stakeholders. It fosters many interesting discussions and innovative viewpoints.”
What are your main takeaways?
“That the “new geopolitical environment and backsliding in EU sustainability regulations” (as was the theme of the day) makes it more important than ever to have a long-term focus and to continue to take action to promote and support sustainable financial markets.”
Did you have a chance to network and meet new contacts?
“Yes, I particularly appreciate speaking with the research participants, who often express interesting angles and viewpoints. Sustainable Finance continues to be a rapidly evolving field, and one never stops learning.”
Anything else that you would like to add?
“Thank you for a great event and some very interesting discussions.”

Per Tängerstad at Atell, what are your thoughts on the SFL Partner Day?
“How important it is for any investor to factor in different risks. And as always, you think you have thought through all possible alternatives, and something unexpected happens. The work at SFL provides a meaningful background for evaluating different risks and determining how to tackle upcoming risks. This kind of meeting, where investors and scientists meet, is extremely needed.”
What are your main takeaways?
“There is a close connection between money and action, and how quickly a decision could be made but how slow the process is. It is hard to accept that a change is needed and much harder to accept the cost.”
Did you have a chance to network and meet new contacts?
“Yes, there were a lot of very useful discussions and meetings in a positive atmosphere.”
