He also underlines the complementarity between Finance and Sustainability.
"Finance and sustainability need to work together. This is a two way process. On the one hand, finance needs to recognise the risks associated to sustainability and needs to incorporate those risks in the investment process and in portfolio allocation. On the other end, finance can help sustainability by channeling, for example, capital towards public and private investments that can address the climate change challenge." explains Gianfranco.
