Context

Many financial institutions are looking for ways to reduce the negative impact of money on 'natural capital' within the financial sector. In the Community of Practice Financial Institutions and Natural Capital (CoP FINC), they have shared their experiences of activities and investment strategies that incorporate natural capital, ecosystems, and biodiversity into their decisions.

Objective

Accelerating the transition of the financial sector and natural capital by

• Learning from each other's practices
• Accelerating your own practice
• Dialogue with other parties in the context of the CoP

Process approach

NextGreen helped establish the CoP by conducting 16 interviews with potential participants and drafting the strategic agenda. The CoP process itself involved co-facilitating ten meetings of the FINC CoP and four additional meetings with experts.

We compiled the results and insights in the publication “Finance for One Planet.”

Participants

ABN AMRO, Achmea, ACTIAM, ASN Bank, FMO Bank, De Friesland Health Insurance, ING, J. Safra Sarasin, MN, SNS Bank, SPF Beheer, StartGreen Capital, and Triodos Bank
