In emerging markets, ESG issues can drive new business opportunities and risks in a very tangible and rapid way.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are increasingly important factors in successful business and profitable long-term investment.

This is particularly true in emerging markets, where they create a rapidly changing and often complex set of market, social and political forces. At the same time, sustainable and responsible private sector development is crucial to lifting the emerging markets out of poverty and delivering global economic growth and stability. As engines of capital, leaders in knowledge and innovation, and setters of business standards, financial and investment institutions play a key role in facilitating this vital transformation of developing countries.

Delsus works with key actors and stakeholders in all parts of this value chain, from real sector companies, banks and investment funds to international development organisations, NGOs and cross-sector voluntary initiatives.

Our capabilities range from business research, transaction support and product development to public/private sector partnerships for strengthening the investment climate for sustainable emerging market finance.
