Sustainable Finance Platform

Forging connections, encouraging action, promoting partnerships: that is the purpose of the Sustainable Finance Platform. Through this platform, the financial sector, supervisory authorities and government ministries work together on sustainability initiatives.

Ambition

In 2016, De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) established the Sustainable Finance Platform. The ambition of the platform is to promote sustainability in the Netherlands, for example by removing barriers to sustainable financing and collaborating on sustainability initiatives. Platform chair Olaf Sleijpen points out that many financial institutions are launching valuable initiatives. “The platform enables them to connect with one another, with the government and supervisory authorities." This provides a powerful impulse to sustainable finance.''
