Description

ESG Insider interviewed sustainability leaders at some of Europe’s largest financial institutions: BBVA in Spain, BNP Paribas in France and Barclays in the U.K. This is the third in a three-part miniseries that features interviews with some of the biggest lenders around the world about how they're adapting their ESG strategies amid COVID-19. In Europe, climate change remains in sharp focus for banks despite the current coronavirus crisis. As scientists caution that deforestation and destruction of nature could lead to more pandemics, some banks are increasing their focus on environmental issues like biodiversity.   Listen to the episode to hear the interviews, and subscribe to ESG Insider to catch future episodes.    (Photo: AP)
