Catalysing large-scale capital

Divider

To capture new opportunities, we need a fundamental transformation in how and what we finance

The world is undergoing unprecedented change. The climate emergency is making natural disasters more frequent, threatening over a million species with extinction, risking trillions of dollars of infrastructure and widening social and economic inequality.

There is also an unprecedented opportunity to invest for long-term sustainability. By shifting capital, we can achieve a low-carbon growth path which rapidly decarbonises industry and creates value for natural capital. This more innovative economy could generate $26 trillion of value.

Sustainable Finance - how we work

SYSTEMIQ’s Sustainable Finance practice works with financial institutions, governments and foundations to accelerate the transformation to a greener, more inclusive financial system.

Our mission is to mobilise large-scale capital for climate action and the SDGs. We do this by:

  • Connecting investors, donors and projects to accelerate pipeline development and unlock barriers to investment
  • Advising financial institutions, foundations and governments on driving real economy shifts and capturing market opportunities
  • Working with partners to develop and scale new investment vehicles, products and platforms to demonstrate high-impact capital solutions
  • Sharing knowledge and developing best practice on financing high-impact sectors (focusing on low-carbon infrastructure, clean energy, forests, sustainable agriculture, circular economy, plastics, and regenerative oceans).
  • Engaging with policymakers to green the financial system and modernise development finance.

SYSTEMIQ in action on sustainable finance

  • Accelerating the sustainable finance pipeline: the Blended Finance Taskforce is a multi-stakeholder coalition: it connects investors, donors and projects and helps unlock barriers to investment
  • Capturing market opportunities: we work with leading asset owners, asset managers, insurers, development banks, donors and foundations to scale investment for low-carbon infrastructure, clean energy, the circular economy, sustainable agriculture and nature-based solutions (especially forests and oceans)
  • Developing new vehicles and products: we help design and scale investment vehicles which mobilise capital for high impact sectors. We supported the government of Indonesia launch SDG Indonesia One, a national blended finance platform for sustainable infrastructure which has over $3 billion in commitments
  • Supporting new platforms: we are proud to partner with sustainable finance platforms like “Make My Money Matter” which is helping to align pension funds with the Paris Agreement
  • Greening the financial system: we work with policy-makers, multilateral organisations, and multi-stakeholder platforms like the City of London’s Green Finance Institute to tackle systemic barriers to greening the financial system.
