“Our world is experiencing changes on an unprecedented scale, as recent history has shown with the resurgence of deadly regional conflicts that generate instability.
At the same time, climate change, coupled with biodiversity loss, forces us to question the traditional models of a carbon-based economy. Faced with these environmental challenges, the various stakeholders in society have embarked on a transition process, albeit at different paces and intensity in different countries.
As a player with a long-standing commitment to sustainable finance, in 2023 we reaffirmed our determination to be a leader, working alongside our customers, in the decarbonisation of the economy and society. This is a tremendous opportunity for a bank like ours, which has always financed forward-looking projects.”
