Both green credit and ESG investing address the management of environmental and social risks generated through lending and investment activities. SynTao Green Finance has sound knowledge of international financial institutions’ standards, such as IFC’s Environmental and Social Performance Standards, and is familiar with domestic and international best practices. We support financial institutions in developing and improving environmental and social management systems (ESMS) to meet relevant requirements from regulators, initiatives and investors, and to better manage risks from non-financial factors.
