UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative

The UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) is a partnership between the United Nations and the global financial sector, aimed at promoting sustainable finance. It encourages banks, investors, and insurers to incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into their operations and decision-making processes. By fostering responsible investment and financing practices, UNEP FI seeks to support sustainable development and address global environmental challenges, such as climate change. In essence, it helps financial institutions understand and manage the risks and opportunities related to sustainability, driving positive change in the economy and the planet.
