NOUS CATALYSONS LA TRANSITION A LA FINANCE DURABLE
WE CATALYSE TRANSITION & INNOVATION FOR SUSTAINABLE FINANCE
Embedding sustainability in business models
A successful transition to sustainable finance and a low-carbon, circular economy requires a profound change in business models, where:
- Both corporations and financial services adopt the goal of long-term value creation.
- Sustainability is incorporated in the traditional investment and lending models, which optimise value based on risk and return.
The new equation becomes Value = f (Risk, Return, Sustainability).
Conditions for transition to a low carbon economy
“All economic players, including the financial sector, adopt a forward-looking mindset that recognizes low carbon opportunities, collaborate to create shared visions of a low carbon future, innovate and pioneer new business practices and products.”
Zone of Institutionalisation
- Fully aligned net zero business & operating models
Zone of Transition
- Adopt a forward-looking, active mindset
- Collaborate with others to create shared visions
- Create innovative, pioneering practices
Banking-as-usual zone
- Passive mindset: waiting for others to move
- Sustainability is viewed as a reputational risk
