About Us

OSFSS was co-founded in 2020 by the Oxford Sustainable Finance Group and the Oxford Sustainable Law Programme. As a student organisation, we believe that the sustainable finance ecosystem requires an interdisciplinary approach to be able to address the most pressing sustainability issues facing our planet. Our members come from across the university - law, history, math, business - and from undergraduates to postdocs.
