Sustainable Finance

Sustainable Finance

The financial sector plays a central role in the transition toward a more sustainable business landscape and a climate-neutral economy. Sustainable finance means integrating environmental, social, and governance factors (ESG factors) into investment decisions and financial processes alongside traditional financial assessments.

At the same time, regulations and market expectations within sustainable finance are evolving rapidly, placing increasing demands on transparency, risk management, ESG data, and sustainability-related reporting. For many organisations, this means developing processes, governance structures, and investment strategies that meet both regulatory requirements and the growing expectations of investors, customers, and other stakeholders.

We help investors, financial institutions, and companies manage sustainability-related risks and integrate ESG factors into investment and decision-making processes. Our work can include areas such as ESG due diligence, advisory support related to SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation), support with PRI (Principles for Responsible Investment), ESG-related disclosures, and sustainability-related analysis and portfolio management processes.

Below are examples of areas where we offer advisory support within sustainable finance and sustainable investment.

BDO helps investors, companies, and other stakeholders identify, analyse, and assess sustainability-related risks and opportunities through ESG Due Diligence (ESG-DD). 

The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) is a central part of the EU's work on sustainable finance and aims to increase transparency around how sustainability-related risks and factors are integrated into investment decisions and financial products. 

The UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) are a UN-backed international initiative that aims to promote the integration of environmental, social, and governance factors (ESG factors) into investment decisions and ownership practices.
