(ANSA) - ROME, DECEMBER 05 - Created by the Italian Banking Association in collaboration with banks and consumer associations, the ABI guide dedicated to sustainability arrives.
The initiative, which is part of the common commitment to promote the Goals of the United Nations 2030 global agenda, explains ABI, is intended to be a useful knowledge tool even for less experienced citizens to navigate the world of sustainable finance.
What is meant by 'sustainable development'?
And for 'sustainable finance'?
Why is the circular economy closely linked to sustainability?
These are just some of the questions that the guide addresses to offer citizens a dissemination tool that can support them in the understanding of a new economic model, which in decision-making processes takes into account environmental and climatic, social and business management aspects (ESG, acronym from English Environment, Social and Corporate Governance), an increasingly relevant approach also at European level.
The vademecum, divided into questions and answers, is digitally accessible and is available online (also dynamic inversion) on the website of the Banking Association, www.abi.it in the section dedicated to corporate social responsibility and focuses on the citizen and his ability to play a significant role in the development of sustainable practices.
"In this sense - explains the ABI - intends to contribute as a knowledge tool, also useful to less experienced citizens to orient themselves in the world of sustainable development. Finally, with the aim of making the banking world commitment to sustainability issues increasingly known, in the guide the various ways in which banks can communicate what has been achieved were represented, both through their channels of relationship with customers and citizens, and with the non-financial declaration (NFS) ".
