Frequently asked questions
Which companies and roles are typically among your clients in the field of Sustainable Finance?
We have many years of experience advising financial players of various sizes—from asset managers and development banks to cooperative and medium-sized financial institutions. Furthermore, our work includes international projects in several European countries as well as collaboration with research, academia, and civil society organizations in the field of sustainable and transition finance.
How do you support financial institutions in their sustainable transformation?
We support financial institutions in developing sustainable financial products and financing structures, as well as in drafting overarching sustainability and transition strategies. We also assist with regulatory classification and the operational implementation of sustainable finance requirements (e.g., EU Taxonomy, disclosure obligations) and their integration into governance, risk, and management processes.
How do you ensure that sustainable finance approaches are economically sensible and sustainable in the long term?
Sustainable finance approaches become economically viable and sustainable in the long term through the integration of clear, measurable KPIs and robust risk management processes. Closely linking sustainability goals with financial results—for example, by considering ESG criteria in investment decisions and lending—ensures that environmental and social factors lead to financial returns in equal measure.
