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 Activity

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.

Economic Activity
Entity Consumption / Production Saving / Investment Borrowing Risk, Disclosure, Governance
Individuals Ecolabel Green Savings, Sustainable Investment, Pension Green Mortgage, Green Credit Card
Small Medium Enterprizes Supply Chain Finance GHG Project Protocol Green Loan
Corporates Supply Chain Finance GHG Project Protocol, GHG Protocol for Corporates Green Bond, Capital Markets Corporate Disclosures ( TCFD)
Banks Green Mortgage, Green Loan GHG Project Protocol PCAF, PACTA
Insurers Sustainable Investment, Sustainable Insurance Corporate Disclosures ( TCFD)
Local Government Green Public Procurement GPC Protocol, GHG Project Protocol Green Bond
Governement Green Public Procurement Green Deal Green Bond EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy, IPCC

By Sustainability Objective and Available Tools

The second matrix takes a more fundamental view and groups topics according to sustainability objectives and available tools (in the general sense, including technology, financial instruments and policies). Objectives are derived from the UN Sustainable Development Goals
