An accelerated sprint to provide clarity to the client’s sustainable banking strategy, and to develop a high-level narrative for its design and rollout.
The client, a leading Nordic bank with a 200-year history, sought to position itself as a sustainability leader in the European finance sector. As governments and businesses accelerate decarbonisation efforts, the finance sector plays a crucial role in enabling economic transformation. With this background, the client engaged Xynteo to help develop and communicate a sustainability strategy that would position it as a sustainability leader in the finance sector, potentially influencing the industry’s approach to sustainable banking and accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy.
