How the financial sector can speed up the green transition
Is corporate finance really an obstacle to a more sustainable world?
In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Bruegels non-resident fellow Dirk Schoenmaker presents his latest book with host Rebecca Christie and CFO at Nederlandse Gasunie, Janneke Hermes.
They talk about how corporate finance and sustainability can go together. New models can help firms quantify the cost of social and environmental factors, so they can plan better for the long term. The podcast also explores how investors can guide funding to certain companies and projects without sacrificing return and thus speed up the transition to a sustainable economy.
