Client Profile
Our client, a premier government-backed financial institution specializing in financing large-scale infrastructure projects, drives inclusive growth and enhances public services. The institution manages a diverse portfolio of infrastructure investments including transport, healthcare, education, energy, and water management projects across multiple regions.
The Challenge
As a leading issuer of green bonds, the institution is committed to ensuring these funds are deployed efficiently to support environmentally sustainable infrastructure. By prioritizing climate-resilient development, green finance is strategically directed toward projects that support environmentally sustainable and socially impactful infrastructure.
With growing pressure from regulatory authorities, investors, and stakeholders to integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations into public financing, the institution faced several key challenges:
-
Assessing ESG risks and opportunities at both project and portfolio levels.
-
Tracking emissions across infrastructure, energy, and other public sector investments.
-
Automating ESG data collection and reporting to improve transparency and meet reporting mandates.
-
Monitoring sustainability outcomes and project impacts in line with national climate targets and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Manual processes and scattered data sources made ESG integration, risk management, and reporting inefficient, highlighting the need for a comprehensive, technology-driven solution.

The institution partnered with GreenFi to implement a tailored, AI-driven ESG management system that automates, centralizes, and enhances ESG processes:
