UNIQUS Point of View – Sustainable Finance

Banks and other financial institutions play an instrumental role in the global transition to a sustainable economy. On the one hand, through sustainable financing, they have the potential to spur innovation, upscale sustainability efforts, and augment decarbonization of economies – fostering a mutually beneficial environment for them, their clients, and the planet at large.

Sustainable finance also emerges from commercial imperatives to better manage climate and other sustainability-related risks. In a landscape where banks and other financial institutions are frequently judged on their environmental sustainability, it is crucial to create opportunities in sustainable finance and integrate sustainability-related considerations into capital allocation, loan sanctioning, portfolio oversight, and reporting.
