Through these services, the Initiative will engage a broad range of financial institutions, including commercial banks, asset managers, insurers, and multi-lateral development banks and agencies in implementing global finance sector principles to catalyze integration of sustainability into financial market practice. The frameworks UNEP FI supports include the Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB), now committed to by more than 210 banks collectively holding USD 53 trillion in assets, or one third of the global banking sector, and the Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI), established in 2012 by UNEP FI and today applied by one-quarter of the world’s insurers (25% of world premium). UNEP FI has an Ecosystems workstream that includes research and engagement with financial institutions on nature-positive financing, disclosures on TNFD, financing of nature-based solutions, and financing the sustainable blue economy; all of which require capacity building and research advancement. The services will also help promote sustainability into all aspects of the financial sector’s operations and services. Finally, the services will help the Initiative to broaden its outreach both within UNEP/UN and external to banks, insurers and investors, governments, regulators, private sector and multi-stakeholders, including supporting institutions.
