ANZ’s institutional business has won Best Bank for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and Sustainable Finance in the annual Australian Corporate Treasury Association (ACTA) awards, based on the recent large corporate relationship banking study conducted by Peter Lee Associates.
“ANZ’s expertise in ESG and sustainability demonstrates our leadership in supporting customers as they embrace opportunities in the transition to net-zero,” said Tammy Medard, ANZ managing director for Institutional Australia. “This result reflects the dedication and talent of our team, and the trust our customers put in us to help them solve problems and realise their ESG ambitions.”
“Peter Lee’s acknowledgement cements our position as a leading environmental sustainability bank in the region, supporting customers as they embrace opportunities in the transition to net zero emissions,” said Katharine Tapley, ANZ head of sustainable finance. “We saw record growth in the last financial year, completing 81 deals with a transactional volume of about $119 billion in multiple currencies across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe, and the US.”
ANZ boasts a dedicated sustainable finance team with technical sustainability expertise and extensive experience across multiple banking products and industry sectors operating globally across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and London.
ANZ also recently partnered with ESG investment and advisory firm, Pollination, deepening the expertise and solutions on offer for customers transitioning to net-zero.
