EUSFiL

The Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence on European Union Sustainable Finance and Law (EUSFiL), located at the Department of Company law of the University of Genoa, aims at establishing a Centre of studies focused on the sustainable finance field, with particular referring to the recent reform of the EU financial system. Since the launch of the EU Sustainable Development Strategy in 2001, the EU Commission has committed to contributing to the promotion of sustainable development in key cross-sectoral projects, by intervening in all environmental, social and governance (ESG) areas. The Centre will engage in research, education, and publication that broadens inquiry, dialogue, and debate beyond traditional academic boundaries, bridging the gap between theory and practice. EUSFiL also aims to contribute to the achievement of UN Sustainable Development Goals, with particular reference to SDG 8.10 (strengthening the capacity of domestic financial institutions to encourage and expand access to banking, insurance and financial services for all).
