Sustainable finance is an increasingly important consideration for those organisations making investments in projects, products and services. More and more, investors across the finance community are prioritising ESG (environmental, social and governance) in the decisions that they make.
The Sustainable Finance Network at IEMA is led by a member steering group, which enables the flow of information and knowledge sharing between investment and sustainability professionals in a way that helps address some of the most significant policy challenges concerning the natural environment, social inclusion and governance to be addressed.
Opting to become a member of the network means you'll receive updates about developments in this sphere and the work of the steering group, invitations to apply to join the steering group or get involved in other ways, requests to participate in consultations and notification of relevant webinars and other IEMA or external events.

Green financing is to increase the level of financial flows (from banking, micro-credit, insurance and investment) from the public, private and not-for-profit sectors to sustainable development priorities. A key part of this is to better manage environmental and social risks, take up opportunities that bring both a decent rate of return and environmental benefit, and deliver greater accountability.
A potential future state of the whole UK economy in which fundamental change in the way the economy functions, not unlike the first industrial revolution, has taken place. Growth will continue to be the essential motif of our economy but its measurement will be more holistic, more consistently factoring in people and planet alongside profit. For example, we will quantify and value biodiversity as we quantify and value domestic production. This is not a different or separate economy, but an evolved economy.
