Where Can You Find Green Financing For Your Business?

What is green financing and is it smart to invest in green bonds or use green financing in your business?

Two years ago IISD began working with Chinese authorities to focus on how reforms to the financial system could speed the transition to green development. At the time, green finance was regarded at best as a curiosity—as a niche operation that, as has happened elsewhere, might create a satisfactory trickle of investment into green projects. As this work progressed, however, the topic began to move rapidly from the blurred edges of the radar screen to the centre of attention.

IISD’s most recent contribution to the field, Greening China’s Financial System, was launched at the China Development Forum, the country’s top annual policy event, in March 2015.

Watch how green finance can help drive investment in the right direction.

What is Green Finance?

Where to Find Green Funding for Your Business

A complete guide to sustainable finance and how to manage your finances to be more sustainable.

Your Guide to Sustainable Finance

Basically a financial market is a machine that takes money from
investors and distributes it to entrepreneurs that need money for their businesses.  Those businesses promise a return to the investors. Depending on the business an investment comes with a certain risk. The risk and return profile of a business usually helps investors to
choose where to invest. Sustainable finance takes a look beyond the simple numbers of risk and return: It looks at the impact of the investment. Does the investment have a negative effect on environmental, social or governance aspects?

Socially Responsible Investing (SRI): All you Need to Know

What are socially responsible investments, and why have they grown in popularity during the global cause for concern regarding climate change? Can socially responsible investments encourage companies to go green?

In this video, we discussed what is socially responsible investing or SRI, why it matters to make big impact on the world and how to become a sustainable or socially responsible investor. 

Basically, Socially Responsible Investing or SRI is choosing to invest in stocks that provide a financial gain as well as do social good. The companies are evaluated based on the ESG index: environment, social justice, and corporate governance.

Although socially-responsible investing is still up and coming in India, it is expected to gain greater momentum in the next few years. Companies have become more aware of the ESG factors and are looking to incorporate more of it into their business practices.

What is Socially Responsible Investing (SRI)? [Making World A Better Place!]

Though Responsible Investing seems to be a hot topic these days, making sense out of the many options out there may seem like a daunting task. The terminology alone can be rather confusing, with terms such as sustainability, responsible investing and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) often being used interchangeably. Terminology aside, ultimately what is most important is what matters to you.

Nicolas de Skowronski, Julius Baer’s Co-Head Investment & Wealth Management Services says "Responsible investment is not an investment solution but an approach to generating financial returns in a way that’s in line with clients’ core environmental or social values. As individuals increasingly state that their individual values are becoming just as important as financial returns, we believe that it is of paramount importance to add an ESG dimension to the investment process.

Investors have different levels of responsible investment to choose from. Sustainable investing, the first level, involves selecting companies with leading ESG qualities that also promise to generate attractive investment returns. Impact investing, the second form, goes further by generating a measurable positive environmental and/or social impact. Finally, in some cases companies are required to work towards a specific ESG goal."

The terminology alone can be rather confusing, with terms such as sustainability, responsible investing and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) often being used interchangeably. Terminology aside, ultimately what is most important is what matters to you.

Therefore, before you begin, it is helpful to sit with your relationship manager and determine where your personal convictions lie in relation to your investment objectives, and which of these should be given more weight in your decision-making process.

Is your primary financial objective to:

Invest line in with your values? 
Perhaps you are concerned with protecting marine life and would like to support projects that remove plastics from the ocean. Or maybe you would like to ensure that girls have equal access to opportunities as boys. Investing in line with your values can be done either through impact investing – where you ensure a positive societal impact while also making a financial return – or by excluding companies involved in controversial activities. 

Reduce Risks?
Certain non-financial risks, such as a textile company’s insufficient management of labour rights issues in its supply chain, can hurt financial performance in the long run. Investment strategies that identify such Environmental, Social, and Governance factors can help investors avoid these risks.

Seize opportunities?
Companies that are actively tackling global challenges such as climate change by developing renewable energy technology, for instance, are well-positioned deliver long-term economic benefits to investors.

No matter what your priorities and personal convictions are, we can help you find the approach that best suits your needs. Because how we invest today is how we live tomorrow.
