FinTech Startups Adopting Responsible Finance & ESG Integration in MENAT: Lessons from the GVI Hub’s 5th Cohort
The RFI Foundation has successfully concluded our 5th GVI Hub Responsible Finance FinTech Program (RFTP) for the MENAT region. During the program, FinTech participants engaged in collaborative sessions to share their insights and experiences in integrating responsible finance and sustainability in their operations.
We congratulate the members of the cohort, who were remarkable for the strong sense of camaraderie and support among participants as they explored the importance of responsible finance in their businesses.
We appreciate the positive feedback from participants who shared what great impact the program had on their understanding of Responsible Finance, and its significance in their overall value propositions. The program’s development has benefited from the input that each cohort provided.
“The program's focus on ESG integration has driven us to re-evaluate our values, enabling us to contribute proactively to a socially responsible future, and help our business to be sustainable,” said one participant during ‘Pitch Day’, a pivotal event at the end of the program.
By fostering an environment of knowledge-sharing and mutual encouragement, the RFTP has proven to be an instrumental and influential platform for businesses with an interest in the MENAT region to embrace responsible finance as a central pillar of their operations. One standout case was a company that underwent a transformative change thanks to the influence of the program. To symbolize their dedication to creating impact through responsible Finance, they changed their company name and logo!
The success of the GVI Hub FinTech Program solidifies the RFI Foundation’s commitment to promoting sustainable and impactful practices. By empowering businesses to consider environmental, social and governance issues as they develop and refine their strategies, RFI supports a brighter, more responsible financial landscape in the region.
Embracing ESG principles is no longer an option but a necessity for companies looking to drive positive change while achieving long-term business success.
