Sustainable finance
Sustainable finance is key to a resilient future.
The finance sector is a critical leverage point for positive change. Through availability of credit and cost of capital, the finance sector shapes the structure of the economy.
The coming decades will bring new types of risks and opportunities for financial institutions. We work to support these institutions in making more sustainable decisions, by assessing both risks and impacts across multiple areas, as well as guiding investments towards new circular economic opportunities.

How we work towards sustainable finance
We work with financial institutions in the transition to a circular and sustainable economy. We can help organizations understand and mitigate risks from environmental impacts, and create new, innovative forms of sustainable value.
Strategy Development
Using systems thinking and data science, we help you minimize your environmental impact while achieving your financial targets.
Climate Risk Assessment
We have developed an innovative approach to assessing the nonlinear risks to financial institutions from climate change and other environmental impacts.
Portfolio Impact Assessment
Our data science team helps you identify the full environmental impacts in your portfolio, across multiple planetary boundaries, and develop strategies to mitigate and minimize these impacts.
Circular Finance
We work with financial institutions in the transition to a circular economy. We help design circular business and financing models, and help your organisation understand its role in the circular economy
New Product Development
We help financial institutions develop new products and services that meet the needs of their clients while creating sustainable value.
Sector Analysis
Using our unique systems thinking approach, we help financial institutions assess the risks and opportunities in sectors, geographies, or global value chains.
Together with businesses, governments, and non-profits, we accelerate a sustainable economy.
