Tecnoambiente provides an experienced team to support the mobilization of capital towards a low carbon economy to fight climate change. We offer analytical, consulting, structuring, and support services so our clients comply with regulatory requirements, incorporate best-in-class tools and improve in-house capacities.
The department offers specific sustainable finance services for our financial and corporate clients, as well as climate finance services for multilateral organizations, bilateral cooperation, NGOs and more.
In the last decade, we have witnessed an exponential development of the sustainable finance space, coming from the public and private sectors at the international level. Now that (i) the European Union has passed key regulation (EU Taxonomy Regulation, SFDR, EU GBS, etc.), (ii) supervisors are more familiarized with the idea of including climate risk provisions into stress tests, and (iii) the financial industry has been building their knowledge on SRI, ESG and impact investment, it is time to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable financial system.
