| Summary: | This paper investigates the ripple effects of financial services granted to
environmentally impactful sectors such as Oil & Gas, Construction, and Agriculture, focusing
on how rule-based systems can influence financial decisions to reduce environmental harm. The
objective is to create a framework based on the proposed rule-based system by analyzing existing
governmental programs, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria, and green loan
criteria that serve as economic mechanisms, guiding financial products toward or away from
investments in high-emission industries. The methodology combines theoretical analysis with a
proposed rule-based framework that links business rules to credit allocation outcomes. Results
from the study suggest that financial institutions, through the implementation of rule-based
systems, can effectively balance the need to finance essential sectors without exacerbating
environmental damage. The proposed framework allows for more informed lending decisions,
mitigating the long-term environmental impacts of financial services on high-emission
industries. By aligning economic incentives with sustainability, this paper contributes to the
discourse on sustainable finance and environmental risk management. |
