Women at HSG: Santa Sip & Craft
We enjoyed a festive evening at our Santa Sip & Craft - the Women@HSG Christmas Event. We started the night with short introductions from the participating clubs, before moving into a cozy Christmas get-together featuring crafting such as bracelets and designing Christmas ornaments, seasonal drinks, and plenty of time to connect with the Women@HSG community in a relaxed atmosphere.
The Sustainable
Investment Challenge
The Sustainable Investment Club is proud to co‑lead the Sustainable Investment Challenge at the University of St.Gallen, a hands‑on master’s course where students develop their own financial products that are both profitable and deliver measurable impact. In the 2024 autumn semester, students designed innovative solutions such as a fund to finance solar panels in Ukraine, a derivative supporting sanitation in India, and investments in sustainable cement development. Throughout the course, they received feedback from leading partners including Blue Earth Capital, Julius Baer, and WWF Switzerland. The program culminates in presentations before a jury of academics, practitioners, and SIC members, with the most promising teams encouraged to enter the Kellogg‑Morgan Stanley Sustainable Investing Challenge.
Our Team
We are passionate students from various academic backgrounds, brought together by a common goal to make sustainability a core part of the financial world. What connects us is curiosity, commitment, and the belief that finance can and should be a force for good. Together we turn ideas into action.
