In recent years, increased public concern for the environment and sustainable business practices has brought sustainable finance to the limelight. Sustainable finance refers to investments in sustainable development projects and initiatives, environmental products, and policies that promote a sustainable economy. It integrates the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals with businesses or investment decisions, and it is increasingly finding many takers. Sustainable finance is applied to capital from individual investors, institutions and companies of all sizes, and investment funds. |
