ESG

In a changing world, there is a great need for businesses to become resistant and resilient to changing climates. Sustainable finance is the practice by which environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) are considered when making investment decisions. Stakeholders are increasingly interested in determining if their portfolio reflects their values and are prepared to withstand the effects of climate change and the transition to a de-carbonized energy grid.
