How Finance drives the Sustainability Agenda Forward

The finance industry is at the forefront of the transition to a low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive future. By encouraging the flow of capital towards the achievement of sustainability goals, it can create shared value, whilst balancing profits with long-term social and environmental benefits. By setting and implementing targets in areas including greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity and nature, sustainable consumption and production, and financial inclusion, financial institutions can drive ambition, tackle global challenges and set strategies and operations on a sustainable pathway for a more resilient future.
