Mazars and OMFIF launch Sustainable Finance Policy Tracker

For many professionals working in financial modelling for energy and infrastructure, the topic of Sustainable Finance is a topic of clear interest. Sustainable finance reaches well outside financial modelling for renewable energy projects. To provide further insights into this area we have partnered with OMFIF to launch a global Sustainable Finance Policy Tracker.

Sustainable Finance Policy and developments during the Covid pandemic

The Covid pandemic has served as a wake-up call for the industry in relation to Sustainable Finance. At Mazars we have seen a significant increase in the focus from the majority of organisations to embed sustainability into their business models. In parallel, many jurisdictions are seeing a climate stress test becoming mainstream. There is rapid and tangible development. While development is rapid, there still is a significant lack of consistency between international regulators in relation to addressing the climate change situation.

Monitoring international developments in Sustainable Finance Policy

Mazars has partnered with OMFIF to launch a global tool for easy comparison between regions. The intention is to assist our clients in monitoring developments around Sustainable Finance, and to be able to compare various countries.

Scope of the Sustainable Finance Policy Tracker

The initial scope of the sustainable finance policy tracker includes 22 countries and jurisdictions. The global tracker covers 14 areas related to sustainable finance policy, including:

• Supervisory and regulatory measures addressing climate risks in the financial sector
• Activity relating to financial stress-testing
• Sustainable taxonomies
• Climate-related disclosures and green bond issuance 

Sustainable Finance and financial modelling of renewable energy projects

One tangible component of the energy transition is the generations of sustainable (renewable) energy, and if your interest sits closer to this topic and that Policy, then we would recommend the following financial modelling courses:

• Financial modelling for renewable energy projects (EMEA + APAC)
• Financial modelling for renewable energy projects (US, including Tax Equity)
