LIBF, in collaboration with Zinc Media, has released the first three films in a series exploring how organisations in the finance sector are playing their part in the fight against climate change.
Investment in sustainable and green initiatives has never been more important or more closely watched.
- Which organisations are taking a lead?
- Where are they investing?
- And what is happening in the short, medium and long term?
The films highlight the power of financial services to drive and enable change.
