Westernclear’s SUSTAINABILITY approach
Sustainable finance incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into financial portfolio selection and management. The 2020 Global Sustainable Investment Review (GSIR) found that global sustainable investment reached $35.3 trillion in five major markets including the U.S., a 15% increase in the past two years (2018- 2020).
Sustainable finance that focuses on environmental factors is called green finance. At its simplest, green finance is any structured financial activity—a product or service—that is created to ensure a better environmental outcome. It includes an array of loans, debt mechanisms and investments that are used to encourage the development of new green activities or minimize the impact on the environment of existing activities.
Trading place
Our Vision for encourage Sustainable Finance in international trade
We strive to facilitate and accelerate the development of a sustainable financial system. Westernclear understand supply chain finance is a fast-growing and emergent form of trade finance, driven by the shift toward open account trade from letters of credit. Open account trade enables goods to be shipped and delivered to the buyer before payment is due to the seller, whereas letters of credit must be issued by a bank on behalf of the buyer, promising to pay the seller for goods or services, provided all terms and conditions set forth in the letter of credit are met.
Action FOCUS
Financial innovation is the development of new financial products, processes, services, institutions, or markets. Acceptance and integration of new technologies make the scope for the changes in the financial sector vast.
There are different types of financial innovations: product, process, and institutional.
Digital innovation helps improve financial inclusion and increase financial literacy not only among the banked population but also among the unbanked population.
