About This Item
TSE ISO/TR 32220 is a technical report that brings together basic concepts, key initiatives, and commonly used terms in sustainable finance. It is intended to support a more shared understanding of the subject across the sustainable finance community, making it useful for regulators, banks, asset managers, investors, international initiatives, and researchers.
How the terms were selected
The concepts included in this document were selected for their broad use in the global sustainable finance community, their established presence in financial markets, and their use by supranational organizations, initiatives, or national regulatory authorities. Priority is given to sources with wider geographic coverage. In practical terms, this means the report favours terminology that is already influential across jurisdictions rather than niche or purely local expressions.
Why the terminology matters in sustainable finance
Sustainable finance is a broad field linking environmental, social, and governance considerations with financial decision-making. Its terminology is important because it helps distinguish financing types, market instruments, policy initiatives, impact and risk concepts, reporting approaches, and classification frameworks. A shared vocabulary reduces ambiguity and makes it easier for institutions to communicate consistently about the same topic.
This technical report is not a method or performance standard. It serves instead as a reference document for terminology and conceptual orientation, helping professionals navigate the language commonly used in sustainable finance.
