Green and Sustain­able Finance

The market for green und sustainable finance is evolving rapidly. Globally, green and sustainable finance has become a crucial component of the financing portfolios of companies, banks and investors. Concurrently, the regulation of green and sustainable finance is increasing, presenting both opportunities and risks (such as reputational risks due to greenwashing claims). Utilising ESG criteria can help to optimise finance and unlock new opportunities. However, non-compliance with ESG criteria can impede growth and complicate refinancing efforts.
