Sustainable And Green Finance

Sustainability has become a trendy word in the business world and has influenced the financial sector in many corporate decisions which led to the emergence of sustainable finance. Sustainable finance is the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics into financial services to mitigate and adapt business interests against the financial impacts of climate change. While investment decisions were traditionally made based mostly on short-term financial performance, sustainable finance looks at assessing the impacts of climate change to make long-term investment decisions to ensure the lasting benefits of all its stakeholders. While many companies have started to take urgent actions to implement it in business practices. But with the current geopolitics and the risk of greenwashing, how can investors and businesses deal with the opportunities and pitfalls in the global transition to a low-carbon economy?
