The ICC Principles for Sustainable Trade and Trade Finance offer a framework to assess the sustainability of trade and trade finance. The Principles mitigate risks of greenwashing and social-washing by providing clear, transparent and consistent guidelines along with standardised definitions. They are designed to support business in meeting both the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement objective of limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels – enable banks, corporates and investors to effectively channel capital towards sustainable and inclusive trade finance
