NatWest Group is the latest member of Bankers for Net Zero

Heather Buchanan, director and co-founder, Bankers for Net Zero said:

“We are thrilled to welcome NatWest Group, a leading bank on tackling climate change, into the alliance and we can’t wait to start putting all our ideas and intentions into action. Banks and the business community have a real responsibility to push forward the decarbonisation agenda to help and support both retail and business customers as well as the wider UK economy. But the just transition to a net zero economy will not happen without the support of the financial services sector.”

James Close, head of Climate Change at NatWest Group, said: 

“At NatWest Group we are determined to support our customers and help to grow a sustainable economy in the UK, which is why we’re pleased to be joining the Bankers for Net Zero initiative. Unlocking and mobilising the finance needed to support the UK’s transition to net zero will require the sector to de-risk the transition and ensure that policy, regulation and finance are all playing their part in enabling the UK economy to transform itself. Bankers for Net Zero provides a complementary platform for banks to work together to address the climate challenge. We look forward to getting stuck in to support the group to drive change and leverage existing initiatives including the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero and the Transition Plan Taskforce.”
