As finance represents a quarter of our global economies, it needs to be part of the solution, not the problem. Finance and responsibility are not an oxymoron anymore. We need an impact and purpose-led sector, from employees to shareholders, from partners to investors, to challenge the status quo and deliver on what our society needs: more sustainability, more diversity, more equality.
