The sustainable finance category organizes articles about Sustainable Finance. Pages in sub-categories are represented here using two sets of matrices.

NB: Sustainable Finance is a rapidly evolving field and many concepts are still fluid, overlapping or poorly defined. The Glossary of Sustainable Finance collects some of these emerging initiatives and associated terminologies. Not all entries are yet available.


By Economic Entity and Economic Activities

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

Economic Activity
Entity Consumption / Production Saving / Investment Borrowing Other
Individuals Ecolabel Green Savings, Sustainable Investment Green Mortgages Pensions
Small Medium Enterprizes Corporate Supply Chain Projects Green Loans
Corporates Corporate Supply Chain Projects Green Bond, Capital Markets Disclosures
Banks Projects Disclosures
Insurers Sustainable Investment Sustainable Investment Disclosure, Sustainable Insurance
Public Sector Public Procurement Green Deal Green Bond Regulation

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
