about us
Founded in 2017, ESAF provides services to the finance industry and its clients across the world, including in the emerging markets.
We help financial institutions maximise the positive environmental and social impact of their services.
We also help companies operating in industries or locations with high environmental and social sensitivities, to anticipate and respond to the demands of their financiers.
ESAF has a unique expertise which combines finance and banking with environmental, social, reputational risk management and underlying management systems.
our ambition
Our ambition is to help to grow the overall contribution of the financial sector towards addressing the major environmental challenges we face today.
And to help companies to turn the demands from their financiers into reputational, economic, environmental and social benefits.
We look at commercial relationships between companies and their financiers as strengths and levers that can be used to the benefit of sustainable development, in particular in the emerging markets.
We connect the dots between financial institutions, their clients & recipient of funds, and the aspirations and pressures that each party may carry when it comes to their environmental and social impact.
