The Force for Good, a project of the F4G foundation, has been mobilising capital and solutions
to address the greatest issues we’re facing & build a better, safer future. Since the world is
interconnected all the more, anything happening at the far end of the planet could adversely
affect the rest. What we set out to do today determines the possibility of a better future. More
than ever, we, the collective us, are in great need to look deeply into sustainable finance.
Environmental, Social, and Governance
“Sustainable finance is defined as investment decisions that take into account the
environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors of an economic activity or project."
Any government or non-governmental, global financial organisation, when undertaking an
activity or a global project, should evaluate the ESG factors attached with those projects. They
should mobilise and deploy the funds as a force for good towards the ESG factors to achieve a
better tomorrow.
Force for Good initiative engages the world’s leading financial institutions and directs them
towards complex and interrelated challenges like climate change, sustainable development,
social inclusion, etc. Force for Good helps them understand the ESG factors associated with
resolving these projects.
The Force for Good - Identifying & Bridging the Gap
When the United Nations Organisation (UNO) adopted Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) in 2015, also known as Global goals, it was deployed with a massive vision of ending
global poverty by 2030. It was brought into action after evaluating the social and environmental
factors of the project.
Even though the concept has been around for a while, the world has been waking up to it only
now. As more and more awareness is created about sustainable finance, the global institutions,
NGOs, and other stakeholders are looking for genuine finance professionals like the Force for
Good to guide them through the ESG factors.
According to the Force for Good’s Capital as a Force for Good’, 2021 report, 2020 saw a huge
surge in ESG commitments exceeding US $35 trillion. It is roughly 1.5 times more when
compared to 2016.
Capitalism for a Sustainable Future
When people see/hear the numbers, they misunderstood that it means directly contributing to
the sustainable development goals funding. But it merely focuses on turning the investment
capital towards projects that don't harm the SDGs goals. Also they contribute capital to address
renewable and climate-related projects.
The Force for Good carries these responsibilities on its shoulders and navigates the industry
towards a sustainable future. The initiative engages the key stakeholders, publishes thought

2. leadership, conducts research, and has developed an outreach program to global financial
institutions.
To Conclude
According to the ‘Capital as a Force for Good,’ report, we cannot achieve the UN's SGDs by
2030. Even though there is an increase in intense engagement between the governments and
the finance sector, we still have a lot to do. The Force for Good has been working tirelessly
associating with multiple global organizations to infuse a profound, multi-dimensional change in
the world.
All this may not be enough, but we are on the right track with the Force for Good & sustainable
finance.
