The financial services sector’s entire corporate value chain is undergoing a rapid transformation. The business landscape is becoming progressively more complex, demanding, and unpredictable, influenced by both internal and external factors. Banks consistently face pressure from the dynamic economic environment, necessitating adjustments to external pressures and disturbances, with sustainable finance being a significant focal point.
Amid evolving consumer expectations, changing economic risks and challenges, and the emergence of ESG and sustainability-driven rules and regulations shaped by political and societal factors, sustainable finance provides companies with a significant opportunity to realign their business models. Industries’ global commitments, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), UN Global Compact (UNGC), UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEPFI) Principles for Responsible Banking, Equator Principles, UNEPFI Principles for Sustainable Insurance, Equator Principles, Green Bond Principles, etc., also call for actions and accountability.
