Sustainable finance advisory links a financing proposal with its sustainability objectives, measurable use of funds or performance conditions.
Understanding Sustainable Finance
When to consider this service
Management, sustainability teams and investors working with sustainability data, operational impacts or reporting requirements can use this service to clarify a particular issue. A useful starting question is: “What supports a credible sustainability-linked financing proposal?” Begin with the facts behind that question rather than assuming that a standard package will resolve it.
Scope of work
The engagement can cover the following workstreams. The proposal specifies which apply to your matter and what evidence or specialist input is needed.
- Assess financing structure and eligible objectives.
- Define metrics evidence and reporting.
- Review governance and verification dependencies.
Documents and information to prepare
Start with the records below where available. They help establish the facts before a more specific checklist is agreed.
- Funding proposals.
- Project budgets.
- Sustainability targets.
- Baseline data.
Provide the relevant entity, transaction or reporting period and any existing notice or deadline. Identify missing or inconsistent records so they can be addressed explicitly.
A key issue to resolve
A green or sustainability label requires supporting criteria; it does not automatically improve pricing or guarantee funding.
How the engagement works
- Define the question: assess financing structure and eligible objectives, using the available funding proposals and the facts you provide.
- Examine the evidence: define metrics evidence and reporting. Record unresolved information and the assumptions that affect the analysis.
- Agree the action: review governance and verification dependencies. Set the required deliverables, responsible owners and any follow-up or external dependency.
Deliverables, fees and timing
The proposal for Sustainable Finance sets out the analysis, documentation or coordination deliverables and the work you retain. The availability of funding proposals, project budgets, sustainability targets and baseline data affects readiness and the amount of follow-up needed. Fees and the working schedule are agreed after that initial assessment. Any required independent report, legal representation or authority application is identified as a separate responsibility where relevant.
