WHAT IS THE PRESENT STATE of sustainable finance? Who is actively involved in the sustainable finance agenda? How can the ideals of sustainable development be incorporated into the business practices and models of the finance sector? How can capital markets support the ‘people, planet, prosperity’ ethic?

These questions and more are addressed in the UNEP FI report entitled Values to Value: A Global Dialogue on Sustainable Finance. Through a compilation of essays from almost 100 sustainable finance experts and practitioners from all over the world, this report presents an incisive look into the minds of some of those most active players in this fascinating field. The report is divided into thematic sections to address issues such as Asset Management; Climate Change; Export Credit Agencies; Environmental Management, Reporting and Indicators; and Financial Systems; along with region-specific coverage.

The report is based on the two-year UNEP FI ‘Global Tour’ conference series that engaged over 1,700 finance practitioners, NGOs, government officials and other private-sector representatives in a dialogue on finance and sustainability. Over this two-year period the UNEP FI team was able to gather a world-roving perspective of the various regional approaches to sustainable finance and the key issues that apply. This finance-sector perspective was brought to WSSD by UNEP FI and is now captured in the Values to Value report.

If you are involved in the sustainable finance field or would like to get up to speed on such issues, this is the key text available today.

Values to Value (V2V) consists of 320 pages in a ring-bound format. Within the report package there is a CD-ROM containing over 150 presentations, the PDF version of the actual report, along with various reports, studies and publications that have come out of two years of UNEP FI work. The report is divided into thematic as well as regional sections. The ‘Global Outreach Tour’ section consists of eight reports detailing the key outcomes of the various region-specific and global events that have taken place over the past two years. The second section of the report focuses on UNEP FI’s key working groups and regional taskforces to illustrate the progress and direction that the finance sector has taken towards adopting sustainable development ideals on both a thematic and region-specific level. The report also includes almost 100 articles from key experts to give incisive up-to-date perspectives on the various issues at hand.
