    How sustainable finance can help decarbonize the real economy

    Gill Lofts, Tom Groom 30 Nov 2021
    At EY Financial Services, we share a single focus – to build a better financial services industry, one that is stronger, fairer and more sustainable.
    Now more than ever, as we plan for a post-COVID-19 world, financial services companies will need to harness the power of technology to transform their operations at scale and speed, to provide the products and services the customer of the future will demand.
    The strength of our EY teams lies in the power of our people and technology, and the possibilities that arise when they converge to reframe the future. With extensive knowledge in financial services transformation, we are driving innovation with risk and regulation insight. Helping companies become stronger and more sustainable.
    This is how our EY professionals are helping to build long-term value for our financial services clients. It’s how we play our part in building a better working world.
