Klappentext

This guidebook serves as a comprehensive resource for bankers tasked with implementing sustainable lending practices. It aims to equip financial institutions with the necessary tools to enhance their overall performance when incorporating non-financial information into their decision-making. Zeidan meticulously outlines current lending processes, followed by a step-by-step approach to greening these practices without overhauling them. This work is designed to be invaluable for bankers, business leaders, and multinational organizations committed to sustainable finance.

Zeidan's latest book offers a primer on how to bring a green tilt to portfolio allocation as well as credit and risk analyses. It also discusses the active role central bankers could play in alleviating climate uncertainty and inaction. What I enjoyed most was that Zeidan showed me how to modify the usual financial indicators to account for green standards rigorously. This ensures green banking practices that are in line with the primary goals of any bank or central bank. It is a must-read for professionals in the banking sector and a great textbook for any course on sustainable finance.
