Vision
The UN Global Sustainable Finance Observatory (GSFO) envisions a future global financial ecosystem in which sustainable development - as defined by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - is fully embedded into the business model and investment culture.
Outcomes
The Observatory promotes credibility, transparency, and consistency in the market. It addresses the challenges of fragmentation in standards, proliferation in benchmarking, complexity in disclosure, and sustainability washing concerns.
We work with
We work in tandem with the standards setting processes of the financial industry and regulatory bodies, and seek to leverage and partner with leading sustainable finance-related initiatives. We also work with institutional investors, stock exchanges, data providers and accounting and reporting bodies.
