Measuring sustainability efforts in the business world can be a difficult task. The private sector has become increasingly aware of the need to move towards an inclusive economy, which leaves companies, investors and governments asking for guidance on how to do just that.
To address this quandary, Yale University has launched the Yale Initiative on Sustainable Finance (YISF) in collaboration with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). The initiative hopes to improve corporate reporting and help develop and disseminate new ideas broadly through research, workshops and roundtables.
Our Conservation and Financial Markets Initiative, which helped support this initiative, aims to leverage the power of mainstream financial markets in order to help drive the food sector away from practices that degrade natural ecosystems. Our hope is that the new initiative will create partnerships and programs that provide the financial sector with insight on how to improve the relevance of sustainability information in corporate reporting.
