Frequently Asked Questions

Green finance directs capital toward activities, assets, projects, and organizations that support environmental objectives such as clean energy, energy efficiency, sustainable transport, pollution prevention, and climate resilience.

Sustainable investment considers financially relevant environmental, social, and governance factors alongside traditional financial analysis when selecting, managing, and monitoring investments.

Green finance focuses primarily on environmental objectives. Sustainable finance is broader and may address environmental, social, governance, development, transition, and long-term economic-resilience priorities.

ESG integration is the systematic inclusion of material environmental, social, and governance information within investment research, valuation, risk assessment, portfolio construction, and monitoring.

Not necessarily. ESG integration seeks to improve understanding of risks, opportunities, resilience, management quality, and long-term financial performance rather than automatically prioritizing non-financial objectives.
