The sustainable finance category organizes articles touching diverse Sustainable Finance topics. The sub-categories of sustainable finance are represented here using two sets of matrices to highlight different dimensions.

NB: Sustainable Finance is a rapidly evolving field and many concepts, initiatives and tools are still fluid, overlapping or poorly defined. (The Glossary of Sustainable Finance collects some of these emerging initiatives and associated terminologies).The tables and classifications included here are work-in-progress and some entries are still stubs / preliminary (suggestions are welcome).


By Economic Entity and Economic Activities

The first classification matrix of sustainable finance takes a sectoral view. Groups of sustainable finance topics reflect how they relate to different economic entities or agents (individuals, companies, the public sector etc) and their (formal) economic and financial activities (consumption, production of goods or services, investment etc). (Sustainable) finance professionals and business lines typically specialize to provide services in some the subcategories.

Entity Consumption / Production Saving / Investment Borrowing Other
Individuals Ecolabel Green Savings, Sustainable Investment Green Mortgage Pensions
Small Medium Enterprizes Supply Chain Finance Projects Green Loan
Corporates Supply Chain Finance Projects Green Bond, Capital Markets Disclosures
Banks Projects Disclosures
Insurers Sustainable Investment Sustainable Investment Disclosure, Sustainable Insurance
Local Government Green Public Procurement Green Bond
Governement Green Public Procurement Green Deal Green Bond Regulation

By Sustainability Objective and Available Tools
