Oliver Wyman Session
10:35-11:20 - How are banks defining and internalizing sustainability?
Banks are increasingly integrating sustainability into their core businesses by incorporating ESG into risk management processes, product design, purpose statements and long-term strategies. However, this presents unique challenges that Banks are grappling with. How are banks defining and internalizing sustainability goals? How are they tackling complex sustainability issues, such as climate change risk and green finance opportunities? How are banks articulating and operationalizing sustainability approaches?
