Philippe Brassac : A responsible energy transition to save the planet

Each and every one of us must take responsibility and do all we can – at our own level and within our means – to save the planet from environmental disaster. We also need a radical transformation of the global economy so it can create growth, which is essential to job creation, while using less energy, and using energy with an ever lower carbon footprint. The success of this transformation will require solidarity and an effort from us all. Starting with banks, which have a key role to play. French banks are already committed in this area.

Philippe Brassac : inclusive finance, a voluntary engagement

Although poverty is decreasing overall worldwide, there remain significant inequalities. In some regions, these inequalities are at a 30-year high. This situation is humanly unacceptable. And it also has consequences for the health of our economies. The reality for the people concerned is that they do not have easy access to employment, healthcare, goods and services, financing and banking and payment services. A reality that also prevents economies from developing and growth that is more just and more widely shared. For this reason, initiatives to promote an inclusive economy are on the increase; for instance, the business coalition “Business for Inclusive Growth” (B4IG) which was launched during the G7 Summit in Biarritz at the end of last month and which Crédit Agricole chose to join.

Xavier Musca : Basel 4, the one reform too many for European banks competitiveness

The new European legislature will be tasked with the transposition of the Basel Committee December 2017 recommendations into EU law. As a reminder, only those Basel recommendations that are transposed into national or European law have legal force. It is therefore up to the legislators to take their responsibilities.

Eric Campos : Non-financial information affecting significantly the climate change should be mandatory, public and verifiable

In the wake of the European elections in spring 2019, EU citizens have witnessed a flowering of statements marking an important step in the development of a much-needed common and transparent language for mainstreaming sustainability in the financial sector. Within a few days, the European Commission adopted new guidelines on companies’ climate-related information reporting consistent with the TCFD’s recommendations, and 3 new key reports has been published by the EU Technical Expert Group on sustainable finance (on Taxonomy, Green Bond Standard, Climate benchmarks).Read, like, share and comment the full article on LinkedIn.

Philippe Brassac : Sports as a school of life

No doubt like many of you, I was struck by the self-control and lack of “theatrics” displayed to huge audiences by the players of the just-ended Women’s World Cup Championships, both in the arena and in front of the television cameras. A team that can win while strictly following the rules and still remain humble: this is a great school of life. Read, comment and share the full article of Philippe Brassac on LinkedIn.

Philippe Brassac : women are the future in business

In one of its latest reports, the World Economic Forum estimated that economic gender parity could be achieved in... 2234! 2234? That sounds like the title of a science-fiction novel. This far-off date seems somewhat exaggerated if we think about the progress made in terms of laws, regulations and awareness of gender equality over the past ten years. And indeed, 2018 was a very busy year in this area. Read, like, comment on and share Philippe Brassac's article on Linkedin.

Philippe Brassac : Yes, banks must take action to fight climate change

The latest IPCC climate report is clear. The situation is alarming. Moreover, it will become uncontrollable in the future if the signatory countries to the Paris Agreement do not raise their objectives as of now and do not implement, both individually and collectively, particularly ambitious measures.

Eric Campos : Corporate responsibility henceforth takes precedence over strategy; better still, it sets its course

How long will our 21st century last? Scarcely started, many look at it with fear while others, unaware or cynical, pretend to believe that it is highly unlikely it will be finite. A paradoxical situation ensures: on the one hand, technological progress has never been so rapid and promising while on the other, climate change, deep social inequalities, the advent of populist leaders, the impoverishment of previously prosperous territories and the fear of downward social mobility are making our economies vulnerable and bring back memories of dark hours in our modern history.

Philippe Brassac : Professional integration for young people : if the government simply orchestrates the movement, many of us will be proud to take part of it

Thousands of young people experience social exclusion. This is not something new, it is a well-known fact. But the rising number of those affected is cause for concern. Many of us take action at our own level, but the extent of the problem means that this is still not enough. It is time for us to come together, to move our efforts on to the next level, because we can rise to this challenge. Read, like, comment on and share Philippe Brassac's article on Linkedin.

Philippe Brassac : Protection of personal data: ethics and professionalism

The protection of personal data is becoming one of the most sensitive issues for our companies. Responsible companies did not need to look to Apple (a few months ago), and Facebook (more recently), amid the turmoil of pirated photos and data, to understand its strategic importance and to tackle this challenge head-on. A survey conducted recently demonstrated this: nine out of ten French people say they are “concerned about the protection of personal data on the Internet”, and this concern is growing, as the figure increased by 5% compared with 2014.

Philippe Brassac : Banks are driving the green economy

The corporate world was extremely involved in the COP21 climate conference held in Paris in December 2015, alongside politicians and environment activists. The challenge for today is to sustain and build on this momentum and the real commitments that were made in order to facilitate the energy and carbon transitions. If we succeed, Paris will be the world capital of Green and Sustainable Finance. Read, like, comment on and share Philippe Brassac's article on Linkedin.

Philippe Brassac : The "all inclusive"model

There is no substitute for the family doctor. He knows you longer and better than anyone. He knows what is good for you and what is not, he knows which specialists you should see if you need them, and he is always available. This is, fundamentally, the model on which the universal customer-focused retail bank is based, a reassuring, strong and effective model that clients cannot do without.

Philippe Brassac : Banks and Fintechs : no limit to what we can accomplish together !

It’s time to face the facts. Mutual mistrust — if not distrust — has governed relationships between banks and fintechs. Fortunately, this is all in the past. Everyone benefits when mutual trust is established. Each side understands the value of a win-win collaboration between banks and fintechs, and these partnerships are already paying off.
