The Bank for Sustainability awards shows how we have managed to embed our climate strategy in the bank organization. It underlines the quality of the work and the commitments from all teams from origination to IT, from strategy to portfolio management. This makes us all very proud!

Global Head of Sustainability
Asia-Pacific ESG Financing House
“Crédit Agricole used sustainability-linked financings for Chinese leasing companies to help cut the transport sector's carbon emissions and brought deals with distinctive ESG angles in a year when issuers and investors put less focus on neat ESG labels than on tangible achievements. The bank broke new ground by helping companies in hard-to-abate sectors, as well as crafting financings to fund specific social aims. Crédit Agricole CIB is IFR's Asia-Pacific ESG Financing House of the Year.” – IFR
