SBFN Membership Process

SBFN is open to emerging market financial regulatory bodies and industry associations that are committed to develop, implement and evaluate sustainable finance regulations, guidelines, and related policy actions.

While SBFN membership does not constitute any legal or financial obligation to undertake regulatory actions, members are required to:

  1. Demonstrate progress in advancing a sustainable finance policy enabling environment within a two-year timeframe. This could start with awareness raising, stakeholder engagement and consultation, and capacity building.
  2. Contribute to SBFN’s ongoing measurement and benchmarking of country progress and innovations in advancing sustainable finance based on an agreed-upon SBFN Measurement Framework.
  3. Participate in SBFN Working Groups, contributing to collective knowledge products and events, and sharing their experience with other SBFN members through peer-to-peer exchanges.
