A Better Way of Doing Business
By The New Economy, PRNESunday, March 27, 2011
LONDON, March 28, 2011 - Sustainable finance is a type of investment that focuses on providing
funding to ethical and community-level schemes. These schemes therefore
provide small loans on favourable terms to a wide range of projects. As a
result, a commitment to sustainable financing can result in large scale
benefits to a locality, particularly in disadvantaged areas that exist out of
reach of traditional models of financing.
More than just money, sustainable investment in a community has the
effect of increasing the financial education of the recipients of loans.
The winners of The New Economy's Sustainable Finance Awards 2010 are
