Between the lines
Sustainable finance is ‘hot’ – but ‘doing good’ turns out to be more complex in practice than it seems. Changing standards, high expectations and vague definitions create tensions – and strike at the heart of integrity. Discussions in the sector reveal clear bottlenecks where intentions clash with what is possible, expected or desired.
The role of integrity within sustainable finance
In partnership with The Can Do Company, DSI is exploring the role of integrity within sustainable finance in 2025. How do we deal with sustainability with integrity in the financial sector? And what dilemmas are involved? Several in-depth interviews with professionals and experts around this theme revealed sharp insights and recurring bottlenecks, which we share below.
From insight to action
DSI regularly organizes activities to further deepen the theme around Sustainable Finance in the investment industry. These include meetings, webinars and the development of a database of good and bad practices. In this way we give professionals, managers and policymakers practical tools to confidently conduct the conversation about SusFin and integrity, both internally and externally.
