To understand the term “Sustainable Finance,” we need to look at the two words that make it up.
The word “finance” refers to any activity related to money, which serves as a medium of exchange and a store of value. These activities can include financing and investing across different fields such as corporate finance, market finance, public finance, and personal finance.
As for the word “sustainable,” it simply means something that lasts over time.
Therefore, the term “Sustainable Finance” refers to financial activities that aim to promote sustainability across the four areas of finance.
This sustainability can be social and/or environmental.
