What is sustainable finance? 

Sustainable finance is the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into economic and financial decision making, to mitigate risks and realise opportunities for the lasting benefit of society.

This is aligned with the European Commission’s definition of sustainable finance.
