Summary
In this episode of the Sustainable Ambassador Podcast, we speak with Bernadette Victorio, Program Lead for Fair Finance Asia, to explore how raising the bar for transparency and accountability across the region’s banking sector. Bernadette outlines the network’s three-tier strategy—capacity-building at the national level, coordinated advocacy at the regional level, and alignment with global standards—to ensure capital respects both people and planet. Together, we unpack the legacy of the 2008 financial crisis, the emergence of “just transition” as a guiding principle, and the practical challenges of engaging regulators, multilateral banks, and local communities. If you want a clear view of what sustainable finance must look like in Asia—and what it takes to get there—this conversation delivers a grounded, policy-focused roadmap. Hosted on Acast.
