Finansol label
What stands behind the label?
The Finansol label (FINANces SOLidaires) was created in 1997 by the Finansol Association, a group of banks, associations and NGOs in France. FAIR was born in 2021 from the merger between Finansol and the Impact Invest Lab (iiLab), a historical actor and innovation lab for impact. The focus for the label is mainly on social components.
The association’s goal is that 1% of financial products offered in France will be drawn from social components. The label is awarded to solidarity savings, funds, direct investments, banks, insurance companies and is based on the evaluation of socially oriented activities.
