Guernsey Green Finance has launched a new scheme aimed at 'catalysing action on green and sustainable finance' with a Group of Green Business Leaders.
The aim of the network is to build a community of those leaders and influencers committed to action when it comes to the development of Guernsey’s green and sustainable finance sector.
Each business leader has to pledge to support strategic action on green and sustainable finance; promoting the cause of green and sustainable finance in their personal actions; and to support the work and goals of Guernsey Green Finance.
The first three joining the '20 for 20' Group and committing objectives of Guernsey Green Finance in this way are Julian Winser, Chief Executive Officer at Cazenove Capital in the Channel Islands; Wayne Bulpitt, Joint Chair of Guernsey-based consultancy Active Optimus Group and Chair of the Guernsey Community Foundation; and Fiona Le Poidevin, Chief Executive of The International Stock Exchange Group.
Dr Andy Sloan, Chairman of Guernsey Green Finance, said: “Creating a group of ‘movers and shakers’ supporting the work of Guernsey Green Finance and promoting the cause of climate finance, reflects the Guernsey DNA of action not words. Having Wayne, Julian and Fiona on board from the get-go truly reflects the depth of support for the development of green and sustainable finance amongst Guernsey’s business community.”
Guernsey Green Finance is a member of United Nations’ Financial Centres For Sustainability (FC4S), a network of the world’s leading finance centres seeking to accelerate green and sustainable finance.
Mr Winser said: “I have had a focus on ethical and socially responsible investing in my career, and a long-standing belief in this sector and its ability to influence change for the better at a global level.”
