By combining top-tier academic research with practical solutions such as specialized training programmes, the Center for Sustainable Finance (CSF) empowers individuals, businesses, and society to actively develop pathways to a more prosperous, just, balanced and sustainable world.

The Center for Sustainable Finance (CSF) at Católica Lisbon School of Business & Economics (CATÓLICA-LISBON) was born on April 22nd, 2024 – Earth’s day. The CSF aims to provide world-class expertise on the area of Sustainable Finance. 

It is the first of its kind in Portugal and one of the first in Europe, marking CATÓLICA-LISBON’s leadership in producing and sharing top-tier knowledge.

At the CSF, we believe finance impacts all aspects of our lives, and can be a powerful lever for the development and prosperity of our Society. The CSF aims to advance the role of Finance on the most pressing intergenerational challenges of our times, where Finance has an important role in fostering a better long-term resource and capital allocation. ​We believe that a good understanding of the role Finance can play fosters better outcomes for our Economy, our Society and our Planet – towards a Sustainable Home.​

As such, we are defining Climate Change and the Transition to a Sustainable Society as our inaugural topic.

António Baldaque da Silva, Executive Director
