Sustainable finance 

Facilitating the shift to a sustainable economy will demand substantial investments in infrastructure, real estate, and equities prioritizing decarbonization. Although the 2015 Paris Agreement and the 2017 Taskforce on Climate-related Disclosure recommendations initiated the financial sustainability movement, the 2018 EU Sustainable Finance Action Plan introduced a legal obligation to embed sustainability throughout the financial system.

There is a pressing need from regulators and markets (ECB, EBA) to not only invest in solutions that ultimately reduce carbon emissions but also to fortify broader environmental, social, and governance objectives. Consequently, investors and investment managers are focusing on a novel approach to capital allocation. The financial system and its stakeholders play a pivotal role in allocating capital to companies dedicated to creating sustainable value over the long term.​

At Deloitte, we recognize the challenges companies encounter in adhering to current and evolving regulations. In our support of clients on their journey, we emphasize a comprehensive approach to sustainable finance. This involves considering opportunities presented by modern technologies and adopting strategies that enable an integrated approach across the entire spectrum of business operations and investment portfolios, proving essential for success.
