Sustainable Finance
Mrs. Charoula Apalagaki
General Secretary, Hellenic Bank Association
«Sustainable development has been around for many
years. In the Greek market there are many examples with regards to these issues in the Greek legislation at the Symvoulio tis Epikrateias from the 90s & 2000s.
Sustainable development is now well established on a legal basis. This is due to the fact that the way a company operates contributes to sustainable financing. The compatibility of businesses with the Greek Sustainability Code can provide a confirmation of their responsible operation, thus facilitating their financing. The first two pillars of the Greek Sustainability Code, in terms of strategy and processes, point out the way a business operate, very important to financial institutions when they make risk assessments in connection to financing.»
