There is mounting recognition of the importance of environmental and social issues to industry clients across a range of sectors and markets, and to their financial sector partners, from banks to asset managers to private equity investors. Sustainability performance is becoming a precondition of trust. But, on whose terms? And according to whose standards?

The Equator Principles, initiated in 2003, mark a turning point in the application of sustainability to the financial sector. For the first time, project finance has a clear and measurable standard of sustainable good practice.

But implementation depends on the successful interaction of a number of parties - from Equator Banks, to environmental, social and legal advisers, to industry leaders on the ground.

Sustainable Finance Ltd provides a range of practical solutions for transforming environmental and social risks into opportunity.
