Concept
_
Investing is a good thing. But seeing the real impact of your investments is even better. With our Impact Investing certificate, make your portfolio grow with competitive companies, while participating in the direct financing of social and environmental projects.
Covering health, education, economic development or renewable energy, Swissquote selects realistic projects with a real impact on disadvantaged populations. Once the first project is fully financed, the dividends paid out are used to finance the next project. Therefore, the more funds are raised, the higher the number of projects financed.
Project sponsored by the certificate

First project: Santé Solaire of Solafrica
For its first sponsorship program, Swissquote is contributing CHF 30’000 to finance the Santé Solaire project of Solafrica, a Swiss not-for-profit organisation that promotes access to affordable, reliable and renewable energy in economically disadvantaged regions.
Thanks in particular to contributions from Swissquote, Solafrica has been able to successfully complete its project in Burkina Faso to install solar equipment in medical centres in several remote villages. As the vast majority of these centres were not connected to the power grid, the local population was unable to access certain types of care.
