Investment banks are critical players in the transition to a carbon-neutral economy and, because of their role in allocating capital, they can act as a catalyst in achieving better environmental, social and governance outcomes in society generally. In recent years, sustainability's advance has seemed inexorable. Change is afoot, however, with economies struggling to boost weak growth and manage a growing debt burden with a range of policy responses emerging.
