Values to Value is based on the two-year UNEP FI 'Global Tour' conference series that engaged over 1,700 finance practitioners, NGOs, government officials and other private-sector representatives in a dialogue on finance and sustainability.

Over this two-year period the UNEP FI team was able to gather a world-roving perspective of the various regional approaches to sustainable finance and the key issues that apply. This finance-sector perspective was brought to the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) by UNEP FI and is now captured in the Values to Value report.

Through a compilation of essays from almost 100 sustainable finance experts and practitioners from all over the world, this report presents an incisive look into the minds of some of those most active players in this fascinating field.

The report is divided into thematic sections to address issues such as:

• Asset Management
• Climate Change
• Export Credit Agencies
• Environmental Management, Reporting and Indicators
• Financial Systems
• Region-specific coverage.
