Switzerland – 3rd – Finance & banking sector

2.2 Updating the measures contained in the NAP 2020–2023

Measure 5: Investment, financing and consultancy services Investments and financing have a special role to play in terms of their influence and leverage effect on companies. For this reason, the NAP has also been prepared for actors in the areas of investment, financing and consultancy services. Financial institutions can promote sustainable financial services and thus contribute to respect for human rights, while consultancies can help companies integrate the UN Guiding Principles into their activities. By working together closely, financial actors can promote high human rights standards throughout global value chains and, in so doing, contribute to a more sustainable business environment.

Objective	Indicator	Responsibility
Finance and investment actors are aware of their influence in promoting respect for human rights in business activities and use available means to promote sustainability.	Awareness-raising events are held, and specific information is made available.	EAER/SECO FDFA/STS FDF/SIF

The 2024-27 National Action Plan is supplemental to the 2020-23 NAP. The 2020-2023 NAP explicitly addresses this sector.
