The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.

Located within the UN Environment Division of Economy, the Resources & Markets Branch (UNEP-RMB) seeks
to conserve the environment, reduce poverty, and promote sustainable development by enhancing the
capacity of governments, businesses, and civil society to integrate sustainability considerations into economic,
trade, and financial policies and practices in accordance with the partnership and integrated policy-making
approaches of sustainable development.

between the UNEP and the private financial sector. UNEP FI works closely with over 200 financial institutions
that are signatories to the UNEP FI Statements of Environmental Commitment, and a range of partner
organizations to develop and promote linkages between the environment, social and financial performance.
Through its industry commissions, thematic advisory groups and regional activities, UNEP FI carries out its
mission to identify, promote, and realize the adoption of sustainability practice at all levels of financial
institution operations.

The financial institutions have a critical role on the long-term promotion of human rights and the 2030 agenda
for sustainable development, and needs to align policies and practices with the United Nations Guiding

identify, avoid, mitigate, and remediate human rights impacts in their activities and portfolio.
