Opportunities and limitations of banks in the fight against climate change
We activated our good contacts with Bank Julius Baer, with whom we had already held a number of exciting events in the past on the topic of "Banking and Finance in Switzerland". We were therefore able to secure a specialist from the bank to give a talk at the Lilienberg.
Yvonne Suter is Head of Sustainability at Julius Baer. Since 2019, she has been defining and implementing the Bank's sustainability strategy with her team and as a member of the Bank's Sustainability Board, which consists of the two main pillars of responsible asset management and acting responsibly as a company. Her team also includes employee training, risk management and regulatory monitoring in the area of sustainability, as well as the exchange with the client community «Sustainability Circle». She is also a member of the University Council of the University of St. Gallen. Yvonne Suter's presentation will focus on the opportunities for banks in the fight against climate change.
Norbert Rücker is Head of Economics & Research for the Next Generation at Julius Baer. The analytical focus of his work is on commodity markets and energy. In addition, he focuses on structural changes in the world energy markets and their impact on global mobility. Norbert Rücker is also a member of Julius Baer's Responsible Investment Committee. In his presentation, he will address the limits of banks in the fight against climate change.
After the presentations, there will be an opportunity for questions and discussion from the audience.
