Adding Corporate Value through ESG

Practical Treasury Applications

Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of modern business – and a driver of value creation. In the second of this three-part series, experts drawn from Bank of America’s trade, liquidity and digitalisation teams tackle the practical application of ESG into treasury and the wider organisation.

When starting out on the ESG journey, “finding a purpose” marks the first step, says Rakshith Kundha, Head of Trade Product Sales, Trade & Supply Chain Finance, Asia Pacific, Global Transaction Services. Here, the three basics of treasury – liquidity, movement of money, and short-term funding – position the function perfectly to contribute to a more sustainable approach to doing business.
