Sustainable Finance and ESG

Sustainability and ESG have become public and private sector priorities, with consumers and corporates alike increasingly focused on sustainability practices when making financial decisions and governments considering a wide variety of policy initiatives to drive behavior. The transaction banking industry has a crucial role to play in supporting corporate efforts to position sustainability at the core of their business strategies and throughout their supply chains.

Sustainability remains one of BAFT’s top priorities. A sustainability working group with 5 sub-streams is defining the roadmap for sustainability initiatives BAFT will address on behalf of its members. To learn more and get involved, check out the Sustainability Working Group.
