Guernsey Shows Its Green Colours

Dr Andy Sloan, Acting Director of Strategy at Guernsey Finance, explains the rationale and the proposed operation of Guernsey's new world-first regulated green fund project.

Global investments are shifting focus to the environment, with transitioning to a greener future reported to need some $1 trillion of investments each year.

So it is important for financial centres such as Guernsey to adapt to the increasing demand for green investments. We are able to take advantage of what this movement has to offer, and in the creation of Guernsey Green Fund Rules, we can assure investors that their investments are being used for environmental purposes that are established and monitored against a reliable set of standards.
