Sustainable Finance: Challenge for SME Financing
Online
With sustainability and climate protection dominating the political debate, the topic of “sustainable finance” is becoming increasingly important – including for small and medium-sized enterprises. The basic idea is for the financial sector to become the lever for restructuring the economic system into a more sustainable form: funds are being intentionally channeled into sustainable business models and activities. To achieve this, companies in all sectors must think about how they can conserve energy and resources, protect the environment, observe the principles of good corporate governance, and respect human rights.
The results of the ifo Institute’s Sustainable Finance study and the possible effects on small and medium-sized enterprises were presented at the event.
