THE GREEN INDEX: AN INNOVATIVE TOOL TO ASSESS GREEN INCLUSIVE FINANCE PERFORMANCE OF FSPS
GREEN INDEX 3.0
The e-MFP Green Inclusive and Climate Smart Finance Action Group (GICSF AG) has developed and implemented the Green Index since 2014. In 2022 the GICSF AG released the Green Index 3.0. The third version of the Green Index provides a major step forward for the sector. It has been designed based on the experience and knowledge accumulated over the past 7 years of implementation of the previous versions, the analysis of 1.000+ environmental performance assessments, the review of, and in alignment with, existing international initiatives, standards and reporting frameworks for ESG, environmental performance, and climate risks/finance, and the engagement of 500+ stakeholders, including GICSG AG members, in the development and review of the tool in the period 2020-21.
The Green Index 3.0 is moreover aligned with the new Environmental Dimension of the Universal Standards for Social and Environmental Performance Management (USSEPM), developed by the joint work of the GICSF AG, SPTF and CERISE.
