We’re here to foster responsible wealth transition practices
During the covid-19 pandemic, the world experienced dramatic economic consequences with significant disruptions to the world’s financial system. Simultaneously, the global crisis accelerated digital transformation and increased awareness of the importance of sustainability and risk management.
We established the Centre for a Responsible Wealth Transition (CRWT) to support and empower businesses, investors, and financial institutions in post-pandemic recovery towards a new and responsible economic model.
The Centre’s Sub-Clusters
The CRWT makes an impact in the following four areas of wealth transition through the promotion and coordination of innovative and interdisciplinary industry-relevant research and outreach activities:
Responsible Investing

Shares evidence-based findings and recommendations to create effective governance structures through emerging technologies.
