Navigating Environmental, Social and Governance
issues
Sustainable finance is gaining momentum, driven by international
initiatives to tackle climate change and promote sustainable
development on one hand, and the recognition of the critical role
which sustainability plays in a resilient global financial system
on the other.
Increasingly, financial institutions will need to assess,
monitor and disclose the sustainability of their investments.
Regulatory intervention is increasing in some markets, while
voluntary initiatives are being adopted in others. This also
presents an opportunity, within the appropriate frameworks, for the
development of new products and services, driving value and
furthering climate-related and environmental, social and governance
(ESG) objectives.
