Episode notes

Olivier: As an investor, time is money. You want to go quick because you want to be a first-comer in many of these sectors. We might see actually more investment but I will not expect it to be in the same order of magnitude compared to what we see in the US. The one thing that we have not touched is the fact that we invest a lot of times to train our people. So it's a change of mindset. What you want is for people to be fully on-back into the journey because we have a commitment to be net zero by 2050.

Corporates, investors, analysts and academics gathered in Paris on May 10, 2023, for the S&P Global Sustainable1 Summit to discuss sustainability themes ranging from biodiversity to climate risk to net zero and the energy transition.

In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we sit down with conference speaker Olivier Musset, Global Head of Energy at the investment banking division of big French bank Société Générale.

Olivier talks to us about the role banks can play in scaling up finance for the energy transition, and the challenges lenders face in weighing the risks of financing sustainable projects alongside the potential long-term benefits.

We’ll bring you more highlights from the conference in our next episode.
