The sustainable energy transition is in full swing and requires access to capital markets that service the full spectrum of renewable, clean, and green projects. 

For sustainable energy developers, buyers, sellers, and organizations looking to adopt clean energy for their own operations, capital markets are often difficult to navigate. While large-scale projects frequently receive funding, small- to mid-scale projects and new technologies face barriers to entry, with many lost in transition.  

BDO’s experienced professionals can help develop a project, enhance its financial appeal and performance, and provide entrees to suitable capital partners, buyers, or sellers based on an organization’s needs. 

BDO provides a complete sustainable finance solution, streamlining and progressing projects from origination through operation. We optimize outcomes to maximize the many ways sustainable finance can alleviate pain points and create economical efficiencies. 

What is sustainable finance?

Sustainable finance includes funding solutions that support an organization’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) projects, including tax credits, grants, green bonds, green loans, and more. 

Sustainable finance also includes the mechanics of project funding, which can be complex, including asset valuations, due diligence, risk management, insurance, controls, and other elements.
