The appointment comes as banks across the globe are increasingly being pushed by regulators, policymakers and investors to do more to help in the global transition to a low-carbon economy – particularly in emerging markets.

“The need to mobilise private capital at scale in developing markets is critical, and I look forward to partnering with the bank’s dedicated sustainability professionals and colleagues across the network to help build on this excellent foundation,” Drew said.
