INTRODUCTION

The impact of the financial crisis has reshaped

the economic and political environment. Most

importantly, awareness of, and attitudes

towards the world’s environmental, social and

governance (ESG) challenges have been

transformed.

Financial systems are increasingly aligned to

sustainable development. Sustainability related

considerations and more recently, the

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), are

increasingly factored into investment decision-

making and product development in a growing

number of financial institutions including

pension funds, banks and insurance companies.
