Sustainability & ESG, Whitepaper

Decarbonization is undoubtedly one of the most important challenges of our time. And not just since yesterday: considerable investment is needed to achieve the ambitious goal of CO2 neutrality.

Banks can play a decisive role as part of this critical change. They do this, for example, by taking on the financing of this transformation and thus making a valuable contribution to society.

In the most of change, banks and credit institutions have the opportunity to strengthen their business potential. However, creative and innovative approaches are required to fully exploit this potential. Horn & Company provides an insight into the opportunities of transformation financing and shows ways for successful implementation in an e-paper.

SUCCESS FACTORS FOR SALES APPROACHES TO TRANSFORMATION FINANCING

There are many ways and means by which banks can design innovative approaches to create attractive sales solutions for transformation financing. Our e-paper uses specific use cases for various target groups to show how implementation can succeed.

The solutions are characterized in particular by two decisive success factors:

  • The active use of ESG risk data and other data sources to identify promising use cases and for targeted and qualified customer acquisition. A comprehensive understanding of your own data management is the basic prerequisite for this.
  • Instead of developing the product idea for the market in isolation, the process design of the entire process should be considered as an integral part of the solution. This is the only way to translate the additional business volume into higher profitability.

HORN & COMPANY THE IDEAL COMPANION

Our extensive project expertise in the banking environment enables us to fully understand the perspective of the institutions and their customers. We are familiar with the systems and data budgets and know exactly what is feasible. As experts in the field of ESG regulation, we not only recognize its importance - we also see it as far more than an onerous obligation.

We see new requirements as a valuable opportunity. That's why we not only develop innovative approaches, but also passionately implement them successfully.
