From practice

Working Groups

Knowledge grows through collaboration. In BVII’s working groups, members jointly develop market positions, practical recommendations, and standards for the impact investing ecosystem — practice-oriented, peer-to-peer, and connected with relevant stakeholders across the field.

Chapters

Impact is rooted locally. BVII organises impact investing through regional Chapters across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

The Chapters strengthen exchange within regional impact communities, foster networking, and create space for collaboration, local initiatives, and new partnerships. Each Chapter is coordinated by two members and serves as a regional point of contact for members and interested stakeholders.

If you are interested in joining or connecting with a Chapter, the respective coordinators welcome direct contact.

Pragmatic, entrepreneurial, and closely connected to the real economy. The Northern Germany Chapter represents a business-oriented perspective on impact investing and connects regional actors working on sustainable transformation and innovation.
