Principles for Responsible Banking Academy

The objective of the Principles for Responsible Banking Academy is to upskill banking professionals around the world and prepare them for the huge challenges they, their businesses and their customers are facing from climate change, nature loss, pollution and social issues. Over the next five years, the Academy aims to provide training to millions of bankers worldwide and as such will become an important benchmark to demonstrate a #responsible and #sustainable mindset. Designed for the 300 plus banks who are signatories to the United Nations’ Principles for Responsible Banking, which collectively represent around 45% of global banking assets, it will also be available to all banks worldwide.  Find out more: https://bit.ly/3CEDpCz #PRBAcademy #responsiblebanking
