ESG engagement is often achieved through sustainable finance projects.
The energy transition requires extensive funding, as does technical innovation to support the deeply required change. Many market parties and institutional investors are interested to provide sustainable financing. Mainstream finance is also rapidly incorporating changing requirements that take into account these funding needs while at the same time contributing to sustainability goals. New sustainability-linked forms of finance are on the rise.
