Sustainability in Financial Services

The only world that truly works for everyone is a sustainable one, and we can’t get there without the financial services industry. EY teams are helping drive firms to embrace the responsibilities and opportunities of sustainability.

✔ Reframe your strategy

Identify areas where increasing sustainability creates a competitive advantage and long-term value for both stakeholders and shareholders.

✔ Govern and operate your business

Embed changes and new ways of working in the long term, putting sustainability metrics at your organization’s center and operating more effectively and efficiently.

✔ Support your transition and build trust

Help implement and execute your transformation projects, provide high-impact mandatory and voluntary reporting, and tell a credible story through your engagement with stakeholders, regulators and investors.

What EY teams can do for you

Sustainability in financial services is no longer a “nice to have”; It’s a key part of today’s drive to combat climate change, achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and create fairer societies. Meeting this demand is a moral responsibility for the finance industry, but also a business opportunity. But the question facing many financial services firms is: How do we make the most of that opportunity?

With EY-designed regulatory horizon scanning tools, analysis, insightful industry viewpoints and over 1,400 EY advisors across the globe focused on climate change and sustainability, EY sustainable finance teams have the knowledge, experience and technology to help financial services organizations contribute to sustainable and inclusive growth, help manage regulatory impacts, and mitigate climate change by incorporating sustainability factors into every decision.
