Sustainable finance is growing in popularity as asset owners look for investments that provide a financial return and generate measurable benefits for the environment and society. This is leading to changes in the options available to corporate borrowers to raise capital – as well as in the way financial services distribute it. Sustainable finance rewards those who perform well on ESG factors, enables lenders to comply with regulations while offering new products and gives more options to borrowers.
