About

This event marked the launch of US SIF's new initiative, Sustainable Indigenous Finance. To celebrate, US SIF hosted a breakfast roundtable at our annual FORUM in June 2025 introducing the joint investor guide, Sustainable Indigenous Finance: Navigating the Energy Transition.

The program featured remarks from project partners and stakeholders, who highlighted key insights from the research - including the increasing financial materiality and intersection between Indigenous Peoples and the energy transition, and offered practical guidance for integrating these considerations into sustainable finance decision-making.

The discussion also included reflections and case studies from Indigenous experts, offering valuable perspectives on advancing responsible, inclusive investment practices across the energy transition.
