  14. Sustainable Finance as Risk Mitigation • Sustainable Finance integrates financial, social, and environmental considerations into decision making, facilitating improved risk management and higher return on investment. • Financial institutions can potentially be affected by social and environmental issues through the operations of their clients. Social and environmental issues within a financial institution's portfolio may translate into business risks for the financial institution. • There are three types of risk a financial institution could be exposed to arising from the social and environmental issues of their clients: credit risk, liability risk and reputational risk. • IFC Web Site for reference

  15. Corporate Considerations of Value Creation Foundation for Applied Research, Association for Accountants and Financial Professionals, 2009 “Nike, P&G, The Home Depot, and Nissan North America are better at balancing social/environmental and financial objectives than other companies because they don’t see them as competing objectives. They are able to hold on to both perspectives simultaneously because they are using the sustainability tensions as a source of new ideas, creativity, and innovation. They expect more innovation and entrepreneurship from their employees and more sensitivity to sustainability issues by innovation and R&D, business unit, and functional leaders.”
