Financial players and their investors have much to gain from the shift toward greater sustainability.

Now we need to inform them about the third: the need to drive capital toward sustainable opportunities, both at home and internationally.

From “Disclose” to “Disclose What Matters”: The Growing Role of Investors in Sustainability Reporting

They have an interest in better performance along with other stakeholders, as it brings higher returns.

The virtuous circle in which transparency reinforces good performance will result in benefits to the investors, better off societies and less damage to the environment.
