Barclays nomme Daniel Hanna en tant que responsable mondial de la finance durable

Barclays a nommé Daniel Hanna au poste de responsable mondial de la finance durable pour la banque de financement et d’investissement, avec pour mission de créer un centre d’excellence leader sur le marché de la finance durable. Il sera basé à Londres et rejoindra le comité de direction de la banque en novembre prochain.

« Le centre d’excellence mettra en avant notre approche « One Barclays » afin d’offrir une gamme plus complète de produits, de solutions et d’expertise aux clients qui souhaitent accélérer leur transition vers une économie à faible émission carbone« , a déclaré Paul Compton, directeur mondial de la banque de financement et d’investissement et président de Barclays Bank Plc. « Daniel Hanna travaillera en étroite collaboration avec les équipes Sustainable Capital Markets, Sustainable and Impact Banking et Sustainable Product Group, ainsi qu’avec l’équipe Sustainability and ESG de Barclays. »

« Nous nous concentrons sur la mise en œuvre de notre stratégie climatique, en saisissant notamment de nouvelles opportunités pour répondre au mieux aux demandes de nos clients et accroître les activités de Barclays« , a déclaré Sasha Wiggins, responsable du groupe de politique publique et de responsabilité d’entreprise de Barclays. « Nous utilisons déjà notre expertise au sein de notre banque de financement et d’investissement pour aider les clients à gérer cette période de changements extraordinaires ; la nomination de Danie Hannal va nous permettre d’accélérer cette orientation afin de créer un véritable point de différenciation. »

Daniel Hanna était précédemment responsable mondial de la finance durable chez Standard Chartered.

« Barclays a été l’une des premières banques à s’engager à atteindre le net zéro d’ici 2050 et possède un fantastique bilan d’innovation en matière de finance verte et durable« , a déclaré Daniel Hanna. « Alors que le monde fait face à l’impact des prix élevés de l’énergie et du changement climatique, Barclays dispose d’une solide plateforme pour aider à canaliser les capitaux vers les nouvelles technologies et les entreprises qui peuvent aider les économies à se décarboner et à stimuler la croissance durable. »

La transition vers une économie à faible émission de carbone est aujourd’hui une opportunité déterminante pour l’innovation et la croissance. Soutenir les clients dans leurs efforts de décarbonation et d’adaptation de leurs modèles économiques est également une priorité stratégique.

Barclays a la possibilité de jouer un rôle de premier plan en aidant à répondre à la demande de financement pour soutenir la transition énergétique, en canalisant les investissements vers les nouvelles technologies vertes et les projets d’infrastructure à faible émission de carbone.

Barclays a déjà facilité l’octroi de 74 milliards de livres sterling de financements verts, notamment pour l’émission de la première obligation verte du gouvernement britannique qui financera des projets tels que l’éolien offshore ainsi que des programmes de décarbonation des maisons et des bâtiments.

Daniel Hanna joins Barclays as Global Head of Sustainable Finance for the Corporate and Investment Bank
Barclays has appointed Daniel Hanna as Global Head of Sustainable Finance for the Corporate and Investment Bank with the responsibility for creating a market-leading center of excellence for sustainable finance. He will be based in London and joins the Corporate and Investment Bank’s Management Committee.

“The center of excellence will bring together the power of our “One Barclays” approach to deliver a fuller suite of products, solutions, and expertise to clients as they navigate the transition to a low-carbon economy,” said Paul Compton, Global Head of Corporate and Investment Bank and President, Barclays Bank Plc. “He will partner closely with the Sustainable Capital Markets, Sustainable and Impact Banking, and the Sustainable Product Group teams, as well as with Barclays’ Sustainability and ESG team to ensure connectivity with Barclays’ broader firm-wide efforts.”

“We are focused on the delivery of our climate strategy, including capturing new opportunities to deepen client relationships and create new growth for Barclays’ businesses,” said Sasha Wiggins, Barclays’ Group Head of Public Policy and Corporate Responsibility. “Whilst we are already using our expertise across our Corporate and Investment Bank to help clients manage this period of extraordinary change, Daniel’s appointment gives us a powerful focus to create a real point of difference with clients.”

Mr. Hanna joins Barclays from Standard Chartered, where he was most recently Global Head of Sustainable Finance.

“Barclays was one of the first banks to commit to net zero by 2050 and has a fantastic track record of innovation in green and sustainable finance,” said Mr. Hanna. “As the world deals with the impact of high energy prices and climate change, Barclays has a strong platform to help channel capital to the new technologies, and companies, that can help economies decarbonize and drive sustainable growth.”
The transition to a low carbon economy is today’s defining opportunity for innovation and growth – supporting clients in their efforts to decarbonise and adapt their business models is a strategic priority at Barclays. There is a significant opportunity for Barclays to play a leading role in helping to meet the demand for financing to support the energy transition, channelling investment into new green technologies and low-carbon infrastructure projects. Barclays has already facilitated £74bn of green financing, including landmark projects such as supporting the UK Government to issue their first green bond, which will finance projects such as offshore wind and schemes to decarbonise homes and buildings.  To find out more about Barclays’ approach to climate change, please visit our website.
