Sustainable Finance & Investment in the Banking Sector
Mission Statement
RBGLP’s Banking & Financial Services team offers world-class advice to support sustainable finance initiatives that align with Africa’s development priorities and global ESG goals.
The Issue
African banks and financial institutions face increasing demand to integrate ESG principles into their practices. This includes:
- Implementing sustainability-focused investment portfolios to attract global capital.
- Navigating evolving regulatory frameworks, including disclosure requirements tied to sustainability metrics.
- Managing reputational risks tied to ESG non-compliance and “greenwashing.”
What We Do
We provide expertise in:
- Structuring green bonds, sustainability-linked loans, and blended finance products tailored to Africa’s needs.
- Advising on ESG risk management strategies, including due diligence and compliance for high-impact investments.
- Supporting financial institutions to align with international frameworks like the Equator Principles and UN SDGs.
Our Impact
RBGLP has partnered with leading Zambian banks to structure ESG-aligned financial products, enabling access to international development funding while fostering local economic growth.
