Abstract

The issue addressed in this chapter is how firms need to shape up or reshape in order to suit the green finance evolution. In this respect, to tap green finance a company would need to structure (if a start-up) or reorganise (if already in business) in a way to be sustainability compliant and to be able to display that credibly. In turn, this passage demands that a firm adopts a sustainable finance management approach, which may be achieved by hiring sustainable finance managers (especially in medium–large firms) or outsourcing that function to external consulting experts. In both cases, the firm needs to be able to get a good external evaluation, typically a credible ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) rating.
