“You need us to protect that, and so all of this is an ecosystem where you care deeply – again it goes back to a doctor or a hospital you care deeply about, who it is that’s there to take care of you,” she said.
Last month a number of a reputable bankers met at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, discussing the future of banking and the transitions they are making to adjust to more a climate-centric economy forward. During the conversation a number of the guests wanted to place great emphasis on the service and care they bring to their customers, and why too much regulation gets in the way of that many of times.

A bank works for its shareholders and for its clients, and of course it’s employees and its communities; but in the bulk of our job is to be a fiduciary for our clients, where we’re helping them invest and to [provide] help for our shareholders, and so it’s not like we have a target for climate Investments or climate financing. We’re helping our clients to do that…
