BSI’s Sustainable Finance Programme aims to encourage the wider uptake of sustainable finance practices, behaviours, thinking, products and services, while helping organizations from the financial sector align themselves with the global UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Sponsored by UK Government (BEIS) and supported by UK sector, the BSI programme is developing globally relevant, consensus-based standards on sustainable finance including:
- An international standard
- 2 Publicly Available Specifications (PASs)
- The establishment and secretariat of a new international committee ISO/TC 322, Sustainable Finance
The aims of the programme are to:
- Provide greater consistency and reliability in how sustainability (and ESG) considerations are integrated into investment decision-making
- Improve transparency and investor confidence, providing a means for organizations to demonstrate practices are sustainable, responsible
- Build broad consensus on common use of definitions, methodologies and reporting measures
- Complement existing standards, codes and initiatives, avoiding duplication, and scaling-up their impact
We will share the latest information on each of these, including links to consultations and publication of the PASs, from this page.
