AS Glasgow gears up to host the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in November 2021, Royal Bank of Scotland is right in the thick of the action, both as a principal partner and a company that has set itself some bold targets, including halving the climate impact of its financing activity by 2030 and making its footprint climate positive by 2025. Susan Fouquier, managing director at Royal Bank of Scotland Business Banking, explains: “Climate change is the greatest challenge facing our planet and we are taking our responsibilities to tackle it very seriously – and that means working collaboratively and being clear about our intentions.”
