Theory of Change  

The finance industry is the backbone of the global economy – providing the capital required for all other businesses to thrive. Finpublica works to educate, inspire and empower finance leaders globally at firms of all sizes and sectors to focus on sustainable and equitable growth that it good for their companies, their stakeholders, and our broader society. Finpublica is focused on creating a big tent, working with leaders at all stages of their journey to explore ways that focusing on sustainable finance can add value to their firms.  Finpublica partners with these leaders to implement practical and achievable environmental, social, and governance initiatives that collectively promote systemic change.  By doing this, Finpublica will cultivate a broad and diverse community of global finance leaders who will lead the way for a more sustainable and equitable industry and society. Finpublica will drive this change by:   

  1. Assembling a community of global finance leaders from firms of all sizes and sectors.

  2. Creating a big tent by bringing in leaders from firms at all stages of their journey and focusing how sustainable finance can be a value proposition for their organizations.

  3. Engaging our community of leaders so that they meet, learn from, teach, and support one another.

  4. Providing open-source, easily accessible and digestible education, resources, and tools – so that anyone can get up to speed on key sustainable finance issues of interest in minutes.

  5. Working with our leaders to ideate and implement environmental, social, and governance initiatives inside and outside their organizations to drive practical, sustainable, and systemic change.
