Sustainable financing imperative to sustainable future, says JSE’s Soobramoney

Finance has a significant role to play in a sustainable future, which comprises economic, environmental, social and governance responsibilities, JSE chief sustainability officer Shameela Soobramoney said during this year’s virtual Green Building Convention on October 29. Sustainability emerged as a component of corporate ethics in response to the perceived public discontent over the long-term damage caused by a focus on short-term profits and, therefore, focuses on meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs, she explained.
