How the financial sector can speed up the green transition

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Bruegel’s non-resident
fellow Dirk Schoenmaker presents his latest book ‘Corporate
Finance for Long-Term Value’ with host Rebecca Christie and CFO
at Nederlandse Gasunie, Janneke Hermes.

They talk about how corporate finance and sustainability can go
together. New models can help firms quantify the cost of social
and environmental factors, so they can plan better for the long
term. The podcast also explores how investors can guide funding
to certain companies and projects without sacrificing return and
thus speed up the transition to a sustainable economy.
