Details
There is an increasing awareness as we head into the 2020s that companies will be judged not only by the profits they make but by the way in which they go about generating those profits. This is acute in banking and financial services where the expectation is for firms to show that they want to be a part of building a fairer and more sustainable economy.
For UK Finance, Strategic Purpose is a priority. Our aim is to move to a more forward-looking agenda that seeks to embed some of the learning points of the past decade into a framework that places banking and finance in a position to meet the challenges of the future. This includes an acknowledgement that in setting a firm’s strategic priorities, boards and senior management should consider the interests of key stakeholders, including those of colleagues, customers and the wider community, including climate.
