The purpose of the association is to trigger a paradigm shift in the financial world regarding the use of systemic principles and methods for financing sustainability transitions in nature and society. This enables investors and philanthropists of all kinds to contribute more effectively to addressing the most pressing ecological and societal challenges of our time, thereby promoting a CO2-neutral, climate-resilient, fair and inclusive future in industrialized and developing countries. In pursuit of this purpose, the association develops, tests and scales an innovative investment approach at the interface of systems thinking and financial practice. It elaborates the theoretical foundations, conceptual methods and practical instruments of a systemic investment approach and collects the practical experience necessary for their validation. The association will not make investments on its own account, but will focus exclusively on enabling others to do so. The association is politically independent, non-profit and denominationally neutral. It does not pursue commercial interests and does not strive for financial gain.
