WE STRIVE FOR:

THE CHALLENGE

50 trillion in incremental investments in the global economy are required to reach the target of net-zero emissions by 2050, as also set out in the European Green Deal.

But how can impact investing favour not only the “Environment” but also the “Social” and “Governance” factors of an holistic and inclusive approach to growth?

OUR APPROACH

Businesses play a key role in this transition, and to maximise their impact and contribution, CSR Europe launched a Leaders Group on Financing a Green and Just Transition.

A selected group of leading companies, members of CSR Europe, will engage with the European Commission, National CSR Networks, and other key stakeholders to tackle the social dimension of financing the green and transition in Europe.

WHAT WE DELIVER

Together, they will work to provide first-hand experience and bottom-up recommendations to policymakers and peer companies on how to ensure an equitable and inclusive transition, actively contributing to the direction set by the European Commission with the EU Sustainable Finance Strategy, the EU Taxonomy, and the Just Transition Mechanism.

The outcomes of the work done by the Leaders Group between March and September 2022 was presented at the European SDG Summit 2022, during the High-Level Plenary “Financing an Inclusive Green Transition”.
