Since the 2021, the financial industry evolved to include ESG criteria in its products and processes. Thanks to regulatory pressures and public opinion, Sustainable Finance is becoming THE new standard for financial centres across Europe. However, a lack of knowledge and common definitions are still present to define its key concepts. Since 2021, EFPA Luxembourg launched an original initiative to democratise best practices in Sustainable Finance and establish clear and common definitions for its key concepts. Today, the EFPA ESG Handbook is joined by more than fifty entities and seventy co-authors sharing the same ambitions. Over the EFPA ESG Advisor certification, launched in 2021 and owned by more than 8’000 financial advisors across Europe, the European Financial Planning Association (EFPA) wants to help to close the gap between the current level of information and the level necessary due to increasing regulatory requirements around the integration of ESG criterion. This is why, the EFPA ESG Handbook is becoming digital, with the addition of a dedicated website to enrich its content, improve its update, and avoid its obsolescence. On this site and on top of their handbook, owners of the EFPA ESG Handbook will find enriched content, a regularly updated information base and practical tools for filtering the various headings on the site. History, regulation, investment products, investment process, risk management... this handbook offers a 360° point of view over the landscape of the Green Finance. We hope this journey will help the reader to have a better understanding of what Sustainable Finance means, looking at its framework, its aims, and its challenges. I wish you a pleasant reading.

Dal 2021 l’industria finanziaria si sta evolvendo per includere i criteri ESG nei suoi prodotti e processi. Grazie alle pressioni normative e all’opinione pubblica, la Finanza Sostenibile sta diventando IL nuovo standard per i centri finanziari di tutta Europa. Tuttavia, una conoscenza insufficiente e la mancanza di definizioni comuni ostacolano ancora l’utilizzo dei concetti chiave. Nel 2021 l’EFPA Luxembourg ha lanciato un’iniziativa originale per democratizzare le migliori pratiche di Finanza Sostenibile e diffondere definizioni chiare e comuni per i suoi concetti chiave. Oggi, il Manuale EFPA ESG include i contributi di oltre cinquanta enti e settanta co-autori che condividono le stesse ambizioni. Con la certificazione EFPA ESG Advisor, lanciata nel 2021 e posseduta da oltre 8.000 consulenti finanziari in tutta Europa, l’European Financial Planning Association (EFPA) vuole contribuire a colmare il divario tra l’attuale livello di informazione e quello necessario per soddisfare i crescenti requisiti normativi relativi all’integrazione dei criteri ESG. Per questo motivo il Manuale ESG dell’EFPA sta diventando digitale - anche con l’aggiunta di un sito web dedicato per arricchirne i contenuti, migliorarne l’aggiornamento ed evitarne l’obsolescenza. Su questo sito e sui loro manuali, i proprietari dell’EFPA ESG Handbook troveranno contenuti arricchiti, una base informativa regolarmente aggiornata e strumenti pratici per filtrare le varie voci del sito. Storia, normativa, prodotti d’investimento, processo d’investimento, gestione del rischio... questo manuale offre un punto di vista a 360° sul panorama della finanza verde. Ci auguriamo che questo viaggio aiuti il lettore a comprendere meglio il significato di Finanza Sostenibile, esaminando il suo quadro di riferimento, i suoi obiettivi e le sue sfide. Vi auguro una piacevole lettura.

Henry Duncan was a man of many parts: parish minister, savings bank founder, political lobbyist, anti-slavery campaigner, educator, geologist, poet, author. He restored the Ruthwell Cross, a medieval monument of international importance. He also played a major role in the Disruption of the Church of Scotland in 1843 – the most significant social event in nineteenth-century Scotland. But his lasting legacy is as founder of the worldwide savings bank movement. He first opened a parish bank in Ruthwell, Dumfriesshire, in 1810, to encourage the 'industrious poor' to save for times of hardship. It was run by local voluntary trustees, and the idea spread to become the basis of trustee savings banks across the world. Duncan was a product of the Enlightenment and his Christian faith. While these were often uneasy bedfellows, he found ways to reconcile them by addressing the economic and social problems of his parishioners as well as their spiritual needs. A man of vision and compassion, Duncan believed fundamentally in the dignity of ordinary working people. From its beginnings in a small cottage on the shores of the Solway, his community savings bank went on to influence and inspire generations all over the world.

‘Footprints on the sands of time, leave behind a trail; for the times gone by and the times to come.’ What does one say about a tale that has a trail. A trail that has taken a cumulative experience of about 300 years. It has lent this book its flavour, fragrance and flamboyance. We are a bunch of happy facilitators who ruminated over many a cup of evening tea, virtually. We wanted to share our snares, glares and flares with the world and our accomplishments too. We explored ways to share the rollercoaster rides with the world. Thus, began our journey of bringing together the collective experience in the realm of facilitation. A humble effort in compiling this book, to open vistas to the fascinating world of facilitation; to explore how it can become a harbinger of change in the learning and experiential space.
