Sustainable finance at Degroof Petercam
Integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into your investment decisions
What is sustainable finance
?
Sustainable finance refers to the process of taking Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations into account when making investment decisions.
More specifically, environmental considerations encompass themes such as climate change mitigation, biodiversity preservation, pollution prevention and the circular economy. Social considerations include issues of inequality, inclusion, labour relations, investment in human capital and communities, as well as human rights issues.
The governance of public institutions and the private sector, including management structures, employee relations and executive compensation, play a fundamental role in ensuring that social and environmental considerations are taken into account in the decision-making process.
The Green Deal
Over the past few years, the European Union has set ambitious targets in this area, including the goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2050. To achieve these objectives, an action plan with several regulations aimed at different stakeholders has been set up to redirect capital flows towards investments that deliver sustainable growth.
The goal:
- More transparency,
- Clearer information on sustainability
- Greater harmonization and comparability
