About us

Banks, insurance companies, private equity and pension funds are the main source of external finance for the European economy. As a result, they can play an important role in closing the investment gap for the transition to a more sustainable economy and the mitigation of climate risks. However, these financial institutions may also be exposed to risks related to unsustainable economic development, commonly known as environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks, including climate change-related risks.

Therefore, ESG issues are becoming increasingly important to the sector and respective stakeholders. The industry itself, clients, regulators and others are becoming more and more aware of the impact and contributions of investments to society.
