Reviews
“This book is an amazing effort to promote sustainable finance and sustainability in banking. Weber and Feltmate present novel concepts and interesting examples in a book that is comprehensive and easy to read.”
Irene Henriques, Professor of Sustainability and Economics, Schulich School of Business, York University:
“Is finance and sustainable development an oxymoron? Sustainable Banking by Weber and Feltmate is a must read for anyone interested in how those in the financial sector can become active participants and contributors to achieving sustainable development. As providers of financial capital and risk management products, those in the financial sector are acutely aware of the risks of doing nothing. Sustainable Banking offers anyone interested in finance and sustainability some much needed guidance.”
