Sustainability in Financial Service Providers and Stock Exchanges
According to surveys, almost a quarter of all investors in Germany invest sustainably. New “green financial products” come onto the market every day. However, well-developed ESG performance is not always behind it. Stock exchanges and financial service providers are driving demand for sustainable financial products; They organize advice, brokerage and sales. It is important to examine every investment opportunity for environmental and social influences as well as responsible corporate management using ESG criteria (environmental, social and governance); Especially on the stock market, some investments are often less sustainable than advertised. The results allow responsible advice and more conscious transaction decisions.
The industry’s pioneers are intensively taking up sustainability impulses from regulation and financial markets and providing a differentiated portfolio of fair financial products with a positive impact on the transformation. There is also potential in specific financial services such as receivables management: For example, debt collection companies can make receivables and dunning procedures paper-free, further digitize them, accelerate them through process optimization and thus help secure their customers’ liquidity while dealing with debtors carefully.
The industry includes, for example, stock exchanges, special credit institutions, debt collection agencies, the auction industry and providers of other financial services.
