Finding the right balance between managing risks and seizing the opportunities generated by the transition to a more sustainable world
There is increasing recognition that climate change and other ESG risks jeopardise the world’s economy and financial systems. Financial institutions need to find the right balance between managing these risks and seizing the opportunities generated by the transition to a more sustainable world. They have a key role to play in the reorientation of capital flows, the mitigation of risks and the financing of innovation to facilitate the energy transition and the long-term adaptation.
At Mazars, we are committed to helping our clients in the public and private sectors implement the changes necessary to meet their sustainable development goals. We support financial institutions navigating the complex risks and make the most of opportunities emerging from the implementation of a sustainable strategy and climate change mitigation.
How can Mazars help?
At Mazars, we support financial institutions in responding to regulatory expectations, adhering to sustainability principles, and more broadly, navigating the complex risks and making the most of opportunities emerging from the transition to a sustainable future.
Our sustainable finance specialists advise financial services firms on the integration of ESG criteria into their businesses or investment decisions, for both the benefit of their future sustainability models and for the broader public interest.
Our professionals offer a unique combination of expertise in sustainability, governance, risk management and quantitative solutions while maintaining up-to-date knowledge of firms’ best practices through our regular benchmarking studies.

Financial services organisations around the world are rethinking how they work in order to better embed sustainability into their business models. At the same time, climate stress tests are entering the mainstream in many jurisdictions. But even though regulation is fast developing, there is still a lack of consistency in the methods used and the extent of the commitments.
