In today’s episode, we speak with Katerina Elias-Trostmann, Head of Sustainability at BNP Paribas in Brazil. We dig into how the bank is looking to incentivize more sustainable land use in the Amazon and other ecosystems. We also explore some of the more innovative transactions BNP has underwritten in recent years to support green transitions and COVID recovery - all of which contributed to the bank recently being named "Sustainable Finance Bank of the Year in Latin America" by Latin Finance.
