🇮🇸 A couple of weeks ago, I was honoured to speak at the #ArcticCircleAssembly, where I highlighted BNP Paribas’ support for #SustainableDevelopment in Northern Europe while respecting the environment and Indigenous rights. During the discussion, some voices in the room advocated for oil and gas projects as a first step to finance local infrastructure and welfare, enabling the transition. While there are different perspectives, BNP Paribas believes that #SustainableFinancing is key to fostering long-term prosperity and economic resilience. BNP Paribas is proud to finance groundbreaking projects in the Arctic region that align with our vision for a prosperous and sustainable future. For example, in Finland, we’re financing a wind farm project, working closely with local communities to respect reindeer herding traditions while advancing renewable energy. Additionally, we have arranged financing for a leading producer of sustainable fuels, helping them scale circular energy solutions for the polymers and chemicals industries. Alongside our environmental efforts, BNP Paribas CIB is committed to social progress. We supported Iceland’s first sovereign #GenderBond, which promotes gender equality and funds community-led projects such as affordable housing and paid parental leave. Iceland’s leadership on gender equality continues to inspire our dedication to #InclusiveGrowth. By prioritizing projects that drive both environmental sustainability and social equity, BNP Paribas is actively helping future-proof industries and supporting sustainable development, facilitating the world’s #Transition to a greener economy. 🌍 🙌🏻 A big thank you to my fellow panelists, Heidar Gudjonsson, CEO of Ursus Investments, Miki Jensen, Director at South Innovation Greenland, and Susan Christianen for such a thought-provoking discussion. A special thanks to our moderator, Mads Qvist Frederiksen, Executive Director of the Arctic Economic Council. #ArcticCircleAssembly #SustainableDevelopment #BNPParibas #GreenFinance #RenewableEnergy #CircularEconomy #GenderEquality #ArcticInnovation #ClimateAction #NorthernEurope

▶️ ACS Regional fireside chat: The human aspect of Digital Transformation Do you live in the Riverina or Albury, Murray; Wagga in particular? If you are, we invite you to join us to learn about the human aspect of Digital Transformation. In shaping the future of how organisations operate, innovate, and remain competitive, The ACS is pleased to have the support of Albury City Council, who recognises the profound impact that Digital Transformation (DT) can have on our regional communities and industries. 📣 Our panel speakers will highlight the growing importance of DT across various sectors. We will explore how DT is not just a project with a start and end date but a fundamental shift in our organisational culture. This shift influences how we work, think, and create value, requiring us to embrace agility, creativity, and a commitment to continuous improvement. While technology often takes canter stage, the true measure of DT's success lies in how well it integrates with the people who power our organisations. We will discuss strategies for ensuring that this transformation is inclusive, supports our diverse talents, and builds a future where technology serves as a powerful enabler of human potential, rather than a barrier. Come and join us to learn more about the human aspect of Digital Transformation. 🗓 Monday, 23 September 2024. | 5.30pm start 📍 Business Hubs, Enterprise Plus. Entry via the rear of the building behind Kell Moore Lawyers, 2/575 Olive St, Albury, NSW, 2650. Please bring your questions to have them answered by our panellists.
