NAVIGATING SUSTAINABLE FINANCE

We assist companies to unlock capital by leveraging and developing their ESG strategies. 

Through linking a strategy to finance, companies can finance sustainable business initiatives to improve their performance – the key is to bridge the gap between strategy and actualisation through finance.

SETTING THE BAR WITH STRATEGIC KPIs

In sustainable finance, success hinges on well-defined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

We assist companies through:

  1. Sustainability Strategy Development – Understanding what sustainability means in the context of their business and developing a strategy for integrating sustainability in their business
  2. Understanding their KPIs and underlying data – Developing the key performance indicators to track the implementation of their strategy and the requirements for the underlying data to be collected to report on their progress.
  3. Linking Initiatives to Finance – Helping our clients bring their strategy to life by linking their sustainability objectives to lucrative financial products to ensure they are able to unlock the benefits of the sustainable finance landscape

Bernard Jacobs

DIGITAL DIRECTOR

After 14 years in the marine water sector Bernard joined GCX in 2013 and initially focused on water sustainability at corporate level. It was this process that highlighted that “most” corporates, with all good intentions, do not have the know-how, ability or understanding of how to go about gathering, managing and reporting responsible data.

During his tenure at GCX, Bernard combined his formal accounting training, his IT skills and worked together with the highly skilled technical team at GCX and its associates to develop the GCX GCX Data Analytics and Sustainability Hub (DASH-).
