Sustainable finance has emerged as a key area of interest in recent years, yet its perception may vary across demographic groups. This paper investigates gender-based differences in the perception of sustainable finance using survey data from approximately 1,300 respondents. We analyze how men and women evaluate the relevance, impact, and trustworthiness of sustainable financial practices. The findings indicate that women generally perceive sustainable finance more positively, aligning with prior literature that associates women with higher sensitivity to environmental and social issues. Conversely, men tend to assess sustainable finance more strongly through the lens of financial knowledge, reflecting greater confidence in their financial literacy. These results underscore the importance of incorporating gender perspectives in the promotion and communication of sustainable finance.
