1. Prioritise sustainable finance education from childhood – the first step to avoid falling prey to greenwashing claims is to educate yourself on sustainable finance.
2. Choose the right financial institution – partner with a financial institution that aligns with your sustainability goals and can provide the necessary support.
3. Align investments with your values – choose investments that match your sustainability preferences and investment profile.
4. Stay inquisitive and informed – a curious mind is a well-informed mind, particularly in the fast-changing landscape of sustainable finance. Ask for reporting that cover ESG aspects.
5. Foster conversations – raise the topic of sustainable finance when in conversations with your peers. Not only will this enhance your understanding, but it will also encourage others to explore the sustainable finance universe.
