ESG, climate, and capital readiness



Positioning Nations for Sustainable Capital and Global Credibility

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards have become the new gatekeepers of global capital.
DLG Partners advises sovereign clients, financial institutions, and strategic investors on aligning ESG and climate strategies with capital market expectations, international development goals, and long-term national interests. We don’t chase ESG compliance — we engineer ESG leadership.

What We Deliver

  • ESG Policy Design & Sovereign Frameworks
    Guide ministries and sovereign wealth funds in building national ESG frameworks that integrate into investment mandates, debt issuance, and development plans.

  • Climate Capital Access Strategy
    Unlock pathways to green bonds, climate adaptation funding, concessional loans, and blended finance through policy alignment and global signaling.

  • Capital Readiness Audits
    Assess regulatory, legal, and institutional alignment with international ESG and sustainability benchmarks to ensure market readiness.

  • Narrative & Positioning Strategy
    Craft messaging that elevates sovereign climate credibility — positioning nations for leadership at COP, UN summits, and climate finance forums.

  • ESG Investor Relationship Management
    Support in targeting and maintaining relationships with ESG-aligned global investors, funds, and institutions.

Who We Advise

  • Ministries of Finance, Environment, Energy & Climate

  • Sovereign wealth funds and national investment agencies

  • Development finance institutions and ESG bond issuers

  • Public-private green infrastructure platforms

  • International climate alliances and regional blocs

Recent Engagements

  • Supported a sovereign fund in achieving ESG compliance for its first green bond issuance

  • Helped a nation build its climate capital strategy and secure green infrastructure funding from multilaterals

  • Designed an ESG national positioning roadmap for COP engagement across five ministries

Why It Matters

  • Global capital is already moving — toward transparency, resilience, and sustainability.
    Nations that are not capital ready today risk being locked out of tomorrow’s investment landscape.
