For our part, Finance Incorporated Ltd commits to:
Uncontrolled Development and Climate change represents an urgent and potentially irreversible threat to human societies and the planet, a threat recognised by the 184 countries that have signed the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change. Climate change is not a world problem but indeed, its everyone’s problem. At Finance Incorporated we have decided to make it our problem and whilst our efforts may be small in comparison to magnate operators we believe that the little drops will in time carve the stone and leave the desired impact where other operators will acknowledge and join this commitment.
This statement summarises how Finance Incorporated approaches sustainability and climate change, capturing the main initiatives it is taking.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a body set up by 195 members of the United Nations to provide rigorous and balanced scientific information on climate change, confirms that the climate system is warming up. The IPCC concludes that the period from 1983 to 2012 was probably the warmest 30-year period over the last 1400 years. Average global temperatures have increased by approximately 0.85°C between 1880 and 2012.
Scientists differ in their forecasts and impact of climate change however they all agree that it is happening and acknowledge the dangerous consequences. There has already been an increase in the frequency of extreme events such as heatwaves, wildfires, droughts, and floods, as well as rises in sea levels and the retreat of glaciers. In Malta, the seasons are merging into two a typical long summer followed by a mild short winter. The overlapping seasons of Spring and Autumn are becoming shorter every year.
These changes have had adverse impacts on human health, wildlife, plants, crop yields, food security and water availability. Whilst the impact varies across different countries, the consequences are serious. Undoubtedly the heaviest burden will be borne by the world’s poorest people. Greenhouse gases are extremely likely to have been the main cause of global warming since the middle of the last century. The largest emissions come from the burning of fossil fuels, particularly coal, from agriculture and from deforestation and other changes in land use. Forests also act as a “sink” by soaking up carbon dioxide, a prominent greenhouse gas, and are rich in biodiversity.
These events are a call to action and Finance Incorporated along numerous other companies are working towards taking effective action by endorsing the right culture whilst refusing to work at the detriment to the environment.
The Businesses, the civil society, communities, and Governments share a common goal and the payments industry is a critical cogwheel in every business. The Payment industry is utilized to finance major business initiatives and the setup of new enterprises, such as the set up of new factories or the deforestation of existing woodlands. The payments industry can influence and drive much awaited green initiatives, such as the set-up of solar or wind farms in the fight against climate change. Governments are crucial in setting long-term, stable policies which support the investment decisions needed in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Finance Incorporated therefore welcomes the Paris Agreement and will seek to supplement the agreement with the following voluntary actions.
Moreover, in our correspondences and relations with our existing and potential clients, we would like to inform that, Finance Incorporated is committed to refuse providing services towards any client whose operation falls under the below activities:
We believe that these activities are against our business ethics and we recognize the negative impact left by these activities on society and on the environment.
