Members are committed to moving their financial sectors towards sustainability, with the twin goals to:

Improve the management of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks – including climate risks – across the financial sector.

Increase capital flows to activities with positive environmental and social impacts, including climate change mitigation and adaptation.
