Since its inception in 1995, GBRW has been working in the field of sustainable finance.
This includes development finance initiatives to underpin missing economic infrastructure, as well as enhancing access to finance for SMEs and under-served social or economic groups.
In 2011, GBRW ventured into the then-niche area of climate or green finance, providing advice to the UK Department for International Development on the UK’s engagement with the Green Climate Fund. Since then we have continued to develop our credentials in green finance, supplementing our wider expertise in financial sector development.
While we work with government agencies and regulators at the policy-level, GBRW’s strength as banking and finance practitioners really comes into play working with financial sector actors. We can work with banks, development financiers, asset managers, and insurers to transfer the competences, tools, models, and methodologies required for sustainable and green finance. This can be delivered through a mix of training and/ or consulting engagements.
