LIBF, in association with Zinc Media Group, have today launched a series of documentaries to highlight the innovations and cutting-edge developments in the finance sector – with a special focus on ESG.
“Banks and their employees are no strangers to disruption, what with financial volatility, regulatory reforms, the birth of new competitors and a global pandemic,” says LIBF’s Director of PR Heather Tilston.
“The sector is evolving at an ever-increasing rate to maintain a competitive edge and encompass changing customer behaviours and preferences. Successful organisations are connecting, predicting, and adapting while adopting digital technologies, enabling them to transform into instinctive enterprises. We’re delighted to be working with Zinc Media to help spotlight organisations who are really making progress in this space.”
Finance Frontiers gives an insight into the innovative work going on around the world – highlighting cutting-edge developments and innovations in finance. It features the people, businesses and organisations leading the charge into a new era of banking, with a special focus on ESG.
