India

Between 2018-2021, Fair Finance India (FF India) worked to ensure a sustainable financial sector and to stimulate greater transparency and accountability by encouraging the integration of human rights standards and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into national policies. FF India championed transformational policy and practice changes to end poverty and extreme inequality, which can only be achieved with an active and engaged civil society and by working with multiple stakeholders. The coalition called for stronger due diligence by banks in corporate investments and lending, and for human rights standards to be integrated and prioritized in the policies and practices of financial institutions.
