The need to transition to a fair , responsible and sustainable economy is the biggest and most pressing challenge of our time . Financial institutions have a huge role to play to help support the transition , providing financing to sustainable industries and helping investors move capital towards investments that deliver measurable ESG benefits . This is the single biggest challenge of our times and what drives most discussions we have with our clients . Whenever clients needs an ESG provider , we want to be there . Our Manaos platform is already live , offering our clients easy access to leading ESG data and analytics fintechs for in-depth and timely analysis of their portfolio . We are developing specific products and services linked to ESG , and we are defining the KPIs of ESG in every single part of our operational model , to provide data to our clients – so they can demonstrate that they are using the most sustainable providers that exist in the market . That ’ s also part of our 2025 GTS plan .
