A New Frontier for Sustainable Finance: Greening Financial Supply Chains

The Carbon Bankroll Report last year found that cash and investments are the largest source of emissions for some of the world’s largest companies. For some, emissions generated by their cash and investments exceed all their other emissions combined.

Businesses rely on a wide range of financial products and partners to provide the cash, loans and investments to operate and provide for retirement. Together, they comprise our financial supply chain –– the entirety of which has a material carbon footprint that the Carbon Bankroll Report made newly measurable and estimable. This panel will highlight short- and long-term strategies for reducing the carbon footprints of corporate cash and investments across the banking, benefits and broader financial sectors.
