Companies and financial institutions play a pivotal role in making the transition to a sustainable society. To effectively integrate sustainability perspectives into management concepts and policies and then put them into practice, the business sector must make use of scientific knowledge in assessing environmental value and risks. It is vital that companies take an integrated approach when tackling the triple crisis (climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution), as well as strengthening initiatives and information disclosure throughout the entire value chain.
By leveraging IGES's expert knowledge and making use of global and national networks, as well as through engagement and collaboration with diverse stakeholders, the Sustainable Finance & Business (SFB) Taskforce aims to accelerate efforts by the business and financial sector to address the triple crisis and contribute to the achievement of related policy goals.
