Canadian Sustainable Finance Network
As part of its mandate, the ISF established the Canadian Sustainable Finance Network (CSFN), an independent formal research and educational network for academia, industry and government to bring together a talented network of university faculty members and relevant members from industry, government and civil society. CFSN will be essential to sharing learnings and open the door to future research topics as well as creating partnerships with other entities from across Canada and globally.
To read research from the CSF Network, visit our CSFN Research page.
