Sustainable banking
The conjunction of crises we currently face (climate crisis, ecological crisis, energy crisis, and geopolitical crisis) stresses the importance of actions and changes at all levels - local, national, regional and international - to tackle global challenges.

Organisations worldwide are more and more aware of their economic, environmental and social responsibility. They know that they can, and have the obligation to, contribute to making societies more sustainable by addressing economic, environmental and social issues in the short and in the long term. This might entail huge investments.
In this context, the role of the financial sector is key inasmuch as it needs to help mobilize private capital to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Indeed, the public sector cannot fund alone sustainability-focused projects and activities.
Sustainable finance goes beyond 'greening' the financial sector, as it should also support human rights, gender inclusion, health-enhancement and inequality-fighting endeavours.
