Showing the Money

  04/03/2009
UNEP Finance Initiative, in collaboration with the Ecobanking Project, is presently developing the Environmental & Social Responsibility Observatory (ESRO), a comprehensive online database of real-life case studies, to showcase how its members and other financial institutions are successfully managing to align financial and sustainability performance by channelling funds into activities that have a net positive impact - on environment, society and their own bottom line.
 

 

The Observatory will also showcase stories of environmental and social risk management in financial transactions involving a variety of industry sectors.

Interested in gaining access? Become a contributor, send us your ‘Finance for Sustainability' or your "E&S Risk" stories for inclusion in the Observatory. Stories should illustrate either cases of financial transactions channelled towards activities or projects that directly address environmental and/or social problems by contributing to their solution (areas of focus: climate change mitigation and adaptation, water and sanitation, biodiversity and ecosystem services), or cases of ESG risk management in any kind of financial transaction.

The Observatory aims to be a desktop tool for financial analysts; it is about sharing experiences and best practice, not naming and shaming. ESRO operates within a strict confidentiality policy, thus protecting any confidential information associated with the stories.
