Understand Sustainable Finance

Rather than a moral principle, sustainable finance is intended as a financial discipline where companies have a broader perspective of risks and opportunities by taking both economic and environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into account .

The main feature of such an approach lies in its analytical process based on the fundamentals, transparency and traceability requirements, long-term investment perspectives and a wider assessment of the challenges faced by companies.
