The Banker magazine has named BNP Paribas winner in four global categories in its annual Investment Banking Awards:
- Investment Bank of the Year for Sustainable FIG financing
- Investment Bank of the Year for Sustainability-linked Loans
- Investment Bank of the Year for Social Bonds
- Investment Bank of the Year for IPOs
This year, The Banker, a Financial
Times publication, has added new sustainable finance categories to its annual awards in
recognition of the growing importance of environmental, social and governance-
(ESG-) driven investment. Its importance for policymakers, regulators and the
banking sector alike is growing rapidly, in response both to the perils of
global warming and to the economic challenges caused by the Covid-19 pandemic
in 2020.
