G.R.E.E.N. captures the BSP’s goal of championing sustainability in the financial system. The strategy is implemented through regulatory issuances, which aim to embed sustainability principles, including environmental, social, and governance considerations, in the strategies, corporate governance, risk management, and operations of banks. The strategy also aims to direct the flow of capital toward green and sustainable projects.
