“The success of any climate or nature-positive action hinges on collaboration, coordination, and enhanced access to finance and technology; this typically requires capable platforms and convenings to act as bridges between corporations, sectors, governments, and funders. Our partnership with the Green Finance Institute is an example of the collaborative solutions that are vital to help us reach short-term climate targets and build a greener and safer future.”

"The SEB is fully committed to financing the green transition and we have a strong focus on furthering our sustainability work. We recognise the need for a central actor that can convene, inspire, and accelerate the work in the financial sector and so we are delighted that the Green Finance Institute has decided to establish themselves in Denmark. To address the immense challenges our planet is facing; we need a fundamental new way I of collaborating. The Green Finance Institute is known for working with the market and government to remove barriers to investment and co-develop innovative financial tools to increase the flow of capital into decarbonisation. We see great potential in applying that in Denmark and look forward supporting them in their work."

“There is a real willingness among financial institutions in Denmark to play a key role in the green transition, and the GFI will work with them and other stakeholders to develop, implement and scale innovative green finance mechanisms and remove barriers to investment to deliver change at the pace and scale that is needed. With construction and use of buildings responsible for 40 percent of Denmark’s overall energy consumption and 30 percent of CO2 emissions , decarbonising the built environment will be vital to achieve net zero.”
