The Prince’s Accounting for Sustainability Project (A4S) and Aviva Investors have today launched a report that sets out actions to deliver a global sustainable financial system, with recommendations for all parts of the investment chain. The report explores opportunities to scale up actions capable of supporting achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and towards achieving the Paris Agreement. The recommendations include building a compelling evidence base and motivating people to act, developing consistent terminology, allocating funds to sustainable outcomes, adopting reporting standards, and pricing externalities. The report also identifies current actions already taken by actors across the financial system and the barriers to progressing further. “Business can be the greatest force for good on the planet… I hope that by providing a practical guide for each part of the financial system, this document can act as a catalyst for change.” Mark Wilson, Group CEO of Aviva Plc said.
